A Literature Review and Two Case Reports: Is Traumatic Dislocation of the Testes a Surgical Emergency?
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Traumatic dislocation of the testes (TDT) is a rare sequela of blunt scrotal and perineal trauma. TDT can easily be overlooked during concomitant trauma due to other injuries, The damage to the testis appears to be not severe in dislocation and may be corrected by repositioning even if it is delayed. However, delayed intervention might be associated with pain and discomfort and may lead to abnormal sperm parameters and possible infertility. The urgency of surgical intervention increases whenever there is associated testicular torsion, rupture, or bilateral testicular TDT. We report two cases of unilateral traumatic testicular dislocation following motorcycle crashes with different presentations and approaches to treatment. We also engage in a review of the relevant literature.
