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

Triorchidism, the most frequent form of polyorchidism, is a rare congenital anomaly with three testes. We report a case of an 18-month-old boy with right cryptorchidism. Surgery revealed two ipsilateral testes: one well developed, and the other hypoplastic, classified as Leung type IV with shared vascular connections. The hypoplastic testis was excised while orchiopexy preserved the dominant one. Histopathology confirmed atrophy without malignancy. At 12-month follow-up, the preserved testis showed vascularization and growth. This case highlights the surgical challenges of triorchidism with cryptorchidism and atypical vascular anatomy, requiring a balance between oncologic risk and functional preservation.
