Isolated Unilateral Testicular Tuberculosis in a Young, Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Testicular or epididymal tuberculosis is a rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis of any form is very difficult to diagnose by microscopy because it is usually paucibacillary. Therefore, molecular methods play a major role in the diagnosis of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. We present a rare case of unilateral testicular tuberculosis in a 23-year-old immunocompetent patient with no history of contact with a known tuberculosis case. He presented to us with swelling on his testis for one month and a discharging sinus in the left testis for 15 days, along with an intermittent fever for a week. A pus swab from the discharging sinus of the testis was sent to microbiology, where a cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) was done, which detected
