1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Scrotal pain and swelling are common presentation, the prompt evaluation and diagnosis is needed due to wide range of causes, uncommon causes of orchialgia should be kept in mind whenever there is no clear diagnosis. Spermatic vein thrombosis usually presents with orchialgia along with episodes of acute exacerbation of pain. The diagnosis is challenging and need high index of suspension and detailed radiological evaluation. We present a case of metachronous bilateral unprovoked spermatic vein thrombosis treated conservatively with anticoagulation with good response and resolution of symptoms.
