Scrotal calcinosis: a case report and literature review.
Article in American journal of clinical and experimental urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo understand the clinical features of idiopathic scrotal calcium deposits, to improve the understanding of the disease, and to discuss its etiology, pathogenesis and scrotal reconstruction strategies in the course of diagnosis and treatment.
methodsTo analyze the diagnosis and treatment of one case of idiopathic calcium salt deposition in the scrotum and to review the relevant literature.
resultsThe patient was a 55-year-old male with multiple yellowish-white nodules of varying sizes in the scrotum for more than 20 years, with hard nodules and no tenderness or ulcerative manifestations. Under subarachnoid anesthesia, the scrotum was reconstructed after surgical excision of all diseased nodes, and postoperative pathology was consistent with scrotal calcium salt deposition.
conclusionScrotal idiopathic calcium deposits is a rare skin conditions caused by insoluble calcium salts deposited in the scrotal skin tissue, for which surgical excision of the lesion is the main treatment modality with remarkable results. It needs to be differentiated from epidermoid cysts, multiple lipodystrophies of the scrotum, and scabies nodules.
