Evaluation of the scrotal thermal environment and the testicular sizes in prepubertal hemiscrotal agenesis without cryptorchidism.

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
Introduction: Hemiscrotal agenesis is a rare scrotal developmental disorder. Orchiopexy on the opposite side of the scrotum with rugae or scrotoplasty combined with orchiopexy is usually performed as a surgical treatment for hemiscrotal agenesis with cryptorchidism. Till date, there are only eight published case studies of hemiscrotal agenesis. Case presentation: A 6-year-old boy, who had been previously treated for infantile hemangiomas, was referred by a pediatrician to our hospital for the follow-up of hemiscrotal agenesis without cryptorchidism. Thermography demonstrated that the temperature of the right scrotal skin with no rugae was higher than that of the left scrotal skin with rugae. The patient's parent declined scrotoplasty because the hemiscrotal agenesis was to be followed up without scrotoplasty and scrotal ultrasonography revealed no abnormal findings in both testes. Conclusion: High-temperature environment may not impair the testicular growth in prepubertal hemiscrotal agenesis without cryptorchidism.
