Long-Term Follow-Up after Testicular Torsion: Prospective Evaluation of Endocrine and Exocrine Testicular Function, Fertility, Oxidative Stress and Erectile Function.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: This study investigates endocrine and exocrine testicular function, oxidative stress (OS) in semen, and erectile function in patients who underwent surgery for suspected testicular torsion (TT). Methods: We evaluated 49 patients over a mean follow-up of 101 months: n = 25 patients treated with surgical exploration, n = 20 patients treated with detorsion, and n = 4 treated with orchiectomy. We performed semen analysis including Male infertility Oxidative System (MyOxSIS) analysis, physical examination, and evaluation of endocrine and erectile function. Results: OS, erectile function and spermiogram categories did not differ significantly between the groups. The interval from the onset of symptoms to surgery differed significantly between groups (p < 0.001). Preservation of the testes was associated with a higher round cell count (p = 0.002) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH, p = 0.003). OS showed a significant positive correlation with the spermiogram category (0.337; p = 0.022). A negative correlation was observed between OS and age (p = 0.033), sperm concentration (p < 0.001) and total sperm count (p = 0.006). Conclusions: Endocrine, exocrine and erectile function are not significantly affected by TT in the long term. Orchiectomy results in elevated FSH and a lower round cell count compared to preservation of the testis.
