Giant bilateral scrotal lipoma with abnormal somatic fat distribution: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundScrotal lipoma is exceedingly rare, so its origin is still unknown. Injury is suggested as a potential factor, but the cause remains unclear. It is difficult to determine the origin of these tumours. Previous studies have suggested that these tumours may be congenital or that they originate from small fatty particles around the cord. Other studies have suggested that these tumours originate from testicles or the tunica. CASE SUMMARY: A 66-years elderly male with giant scrotal mass. B-ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations are typical lipoma-like changes, which were confirmed by postoperative pathological analysis. Abnormal somatic fat distribution was confirmed by images. no recurrence after follow-up for 2 years. Previously published English-language literature was reviewed, and a history of inguinal or pelvic surgery was reported in 6 studies (total 21 cases). To our knowledge, this is the heaviest bilateral scrotal lipoma in the English-language literature, and it has the longest postoperative follow-up time. More importantly, the origin of these tumours is reviewed and discussed.
conclusionGiant bilateral scrotal lipoma in elderly may as part of the symptoms of abnormal somatic fat distribution.
