Post-traumatic Ruptured Scrotal Collection: Pyocele or Hematocele?
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ultrasound is the modality of choice for detecting the causes of acute scrotal pain and diagnosing scrotal pathologies. Pyocele is a term used for describing the purulent fluid collection in the scrotal sac, which may present to the hospital as a complication of testicular abscess, epididymal-orchitis, or post-trauma. Ultrasound is the modality of choice for diagnosing such pathologies. The presented case is of a young male from rural India who developed a pyocele post-trauma and underwent an ultrasound examination, where it was found to be a ruptured pyocele with contents spreading into the hemi-scrotum. Rupture of the tunica is frequently associated with the hematocele; however, pyocele is less commonly associated with rupture. The case report discusses the causes of pyocele, imaging features, management, and complications of this pathology along with other possible differential diagnosis.
