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

The incidence of traumatic testicular dislocation is rare, and it is usually overlooked in an initial diagnosis. We present a case of bilateral dislocated testes after a traffic accident that was treated via orchidopexy one week later. No testicular complications had occurred by the time of the follow-up visit. Generally, surgery is often postponed owing to a late diagnosis or another major organ injury, and the adequate timing of surgery is still under debate. We performed a review of past cases, which showed similar testicular outcomes irrespective of surgical timing. Delayed intervention may be a feasible decision after a patient's hemodynamic status is stable for surgery. To prevent delayed diagnosis, scrotal examination should not be overlooked in any patients presenting with pelvic trauma to the emergency department.
