Syphilitic orchitis with long-term imaging follow-up and conservative treatment.
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 2 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
An increased number of patients with syphilis was recently reported in Japan and the United States. Syphilitic orchitis, a late complication of syphilis, is a rare disease that presents as testicular swelling. In most cases, a diagnostic orchiectomy is performed because of the possibility of testicular cancer. We report a case treated conservatively with antibiotics considering the possibility of syphilitic orchitis based on the blood test results and describe long-term changes observed in the imaging findings.
