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

Testicular cancers represent about 5 % of all urological tumors. Most patients who undergo radical orchiectomy (RO) decide to place a testicular prosthesis, for a cosmetic result and to accept the testicular loss. Among all late complications, a spontaneous prosthesis rupture is a rare event contrary to penile prosthesis. The present study reported the case of a 53-year-old Italian man has presented to our department principally for a suspicious rupture of testicular implant, placed twenty years before after a RO. Despite the findings at scrotal ultrasonography, at final histology, the mass was identified as spontaneously broken intra-scrotal epidermoid cyst.
