Diagnosis and treatment of cryptorchid testicular torsion in children: A 12-year retrospective study.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Purpose: To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of cryptorchid testicular torsion in children. Methods: The clinical data of 25 children who received treatment for cryptorchid testicular torsion between January 2010 and December 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The median age of the patients was 64.5 months (range: 2 months to 15 years). All patients had unilateral torsion, and the duration of symptoms ranged from 3 to 192 h. Results: Among the 25 patients, five underwent orchidopexy, while the remaining 20 underwent orchiectomy. After 6 months to 8 years of follow up, the 20 patients who had undergone orchiectomy had a well-developed testis on the healthy side. Four of the five patients who had undergone orchidopexy of the affected testis had well-developed testes bilaterally, while one experienced testicular atrophy. Conclusion: Cryptorchid testicular torsion is a rare urological emergency that displays a delayed presentation and is often misdiagnosed. Clinicians need to carefully review the patient's medical history and ultrasound findings and perform a thorough physical examination to make a correct diagnosis. Active testicular exploration is required for patients suspected to have cryptorchid testicular torsion, and the decision to perform orchidopexy or orchiectomy depends on the intraoperative situation.
