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

Pediatric health checkups have been mandatory for all citizens since 1966 based on the Maternal and Child Health Law in Japan, and cryptorchidism or undescended testis in adult males are rare. We report a case of an adult right inguinal hernia and cryptorchidism treated simultaneously with laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair and laparoscopic orchiectomy. A 35-year-old man came to our department with a chief complaint of bulging in the right inguinal region for several months. He was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia and was scheduled for transabdominal preperitoneal repair. During intraoperative intraperitoneal observation, a white 30-mm mass was found in the hernia orifice. A diagnosis of right cryptorchidism was made, and transabdominal preperitoneal repair and laparoscopic orchiectomy were performed. Laparoscopic simultaneous surgery could be safely performed in an adult patient with a hernia complicated by a cryptorchidism. It can be recommended as a surgical option in such cases.
