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

In this case report, we present a 43-year-old man (XY) with azoospermia and typical male appearance, at Tanner stage 5 of sexual development, who presented with severe colicky abdominal pain accompanied by nausea. A pelvic CT scan revealed a pear-shaped structure in the pelvic cavity, located entirely behind the bladder, measuring 106*44 cm with fluid accumulation inside it, extending into the right inguinal canal. There was also evidence suggesting the formation of the upper and mid-third part of a vagina, terminating in the prostatic gland. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery for the removal of the uterus and the left gonad. The patient had a uterus with hematometra and a blind vaginal pouch measuring 4 centimeters at the end of the uterus, extending posteriorly behind the bladder to the apex of the prostate, containing old blood. Hormonal analysis showed serum estradiol < 5.0 pmol/L (11-44pg/mL), free testosterone at 1.57 ng/ mL(male reference range: 2.5-20 ng/mL), testosterone at 0.56 ng/mL (2.27-10.30),FSH at 44.8 mIU/L (0.95-11.95 mIU/L), LH at 20.4 mIU/L(0.57-12.07), and DHEA-SO4 at 199.0 µg/mL (139.7-484.4 µg/mL). Currently, the patient is under the care of a urologist and is receiving weekly treatment with hCG medication. He reports normal sexual function, including intercourse, orgasm, erection, and ejaculation.
