Application value of strain elastography in testicular injury assessment after torsion.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aim: To evaluate the capability of strain elastography (SE) in assessing the degree of testicular injury after torsion. Material and methods: In total, 50 rabbits were divided into four groups according to different degrees of testicular torsion (TT) at 0°, 180°, 360°, and 720°. For each animal, according to the tissue stiffness distribution, an SE score and strain ratio (SR) were obtained. With the histopathological results as the reference, the correlation coefficients of the apoptotic index and SE score or SR were calculated, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were created to assess the capability of SE in assessing the degree of testicular injury. Results: A significant positive correlation was found between the apoptotic index and SE score, as well as the SR, with corresponding correlation coefficients of 0.70 (<0.001) and 0.68 ( Conclusions: SE scores exhibited good diagnostic capability for detecting ischemia/hypoxia injury after TT. In early identification of severe injury/necrosis following TT, SE demonstrated some value but was not ideal.
