A rare case of transverse testicular ectopia associated with polyorchidism addressed by minimally invasive surgery: A case report.

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
abstractThis report describes the rare case of transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) associated with polyorchidism in a 16-month-old male, successfully managed through laparoscopic surgery. The patient presented with bilateral cryptorchidism, a palpable mass in the right inguinal canal and an absent left-side gonad. Ultrasound revealed three gonad-like structures. Laparoscopy identified duplicated and fused testes at the right deep inguinal ring, and a third testis in the right inguinal canal. Minimally invasive techniques positioned the duplicated testes in the right hemiscrotum and the single testis in the left hemiscrotum. Post-operative follow-up confirmed optimal scrotal positioning, with normal growth. This rare case underscores the efficacy of laparoscopy in diagnosing and managing rare paediatric conditions, providing valuable insights for surgeons facing cryptorchidism or scrotal masses.
