Association of MPV, NLR, PLR and CRP on testicular salvage in testicular torsion: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Testicular torsion, a critical urological emergency caused by twisting of the spermatic cord, poses a risk of ischemia, particularly in children who often struggle to pinpoint symptoms onset. Delay in managing testicular torsion can lead to the need for orchiectomy. The aim of this study was to assess the association between hematologic parameters-mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and C-reactive protein (CRP)-and testicular salvage in cases of testicular torsion. Four databases (PubMed, Embase (Ovid), Science Direct, and Scopus) were systematically searched for eligible studies published up to November 4, 2024. The primary outcome was testicular salvage. Sensitivity analysis was performed using leave- one-out plot. Subgroup analysis was performed based on age, country, region, duration to orchiopexy and duration to orchiectomy. Heterogeneity was examined using
