Acute testicular infarction in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection and diabetic vasculopathy.
Article in Urology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Acute testicular pain with no arterial flow on Doppler ultrasonography is highly consistent with testicular torsion. In adults, there are rare etiologies of testicular infarction other than torsion, including infection, vasculitis, and trauma. We describe a 41-year-old man with type 2 diabetes complicated by severe vasculopathy and positive SARS-CoV-2 status presenting with acute right testicular pain. Surgical exploration and pathology were concerning for arteriosclerosis and vasculitis. These observations suggest that medically complex patients presenting with acute testicular pain in the setting of COVID-19 infection could be at risk for ischemia; causes of testicular pain beyond torsion should be considered.
