Gross Hydrocele With Completely Buried Penis: A Case Report.
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
A gross hydrocele is caused by fluid accumulation within a layer wrapped around the testicle, called the tunica vaginalis, derived from the peritoneum. A 65-year-old male complained of a non-tender, fluctuant bulge in his right scrotum despite having a fully buried penis, a large hydrocele, and urinary retention. After ultrasonography, the diagnosis was confirmed, and the patient underwent a successful surgical procedure that included a hydrocelectomy and tunica vaginalis excision. The patient reported few postoperative complications and a notable improvement in his quality of life. Surgery is a successful approach for treating gross hydrocele, with minimal morbidity and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
