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

Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is an extremely rare disease with less than 300 cases recorded in medical literature. Our patient was a 37 year old male who presented at the medical office with hematospermia as his sole complaint. He had previously undergone left orchidopexy and presented with hypotrophic left testicle and right testicle agenesis. PMDS differential was considered with the clear observation of a uterus-like structure during pelvic ultrasonography. The organs were later studied in magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by post-surgery anatomopathological examination. Patient was discharged 24 h after surgery and developed azoospermia post-surgery.
