Acute Epididymo-Orchitis Complicated With Abscesses in Testis and Seminal Vesicles: A Case Report.

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
Epididymo-orchitis is a common intra-scrotal inflammation among males that causes swelling of the epididymis and testis. In the era of modern antibiotics, complications associated with this condition are now rare. Herein, we report a 28-year-old man with acute epididymo-orchitis complicated by the formation of several abscesses involving the left testis and seminal vesicles. The literature review showed this patient as the first case with such extensive complications following epididymo-orchitis. Initial antimicrobial therapy was unable to resolve the condition. The management necessitated surgical intervention, which included MRI-guided aspiration of the seminal vesicle abscesses and testicular sparing drainage of the testicular abscess.
