Atypical Testicular Torsion Due to an Epididymal Cyst in a Young Adult: Case Report.
Article in Research and reports in urology, 2025. 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
Background: Acute scrotal pain is a urological emergency. Testicular torsion (TT) is a surgical emergency that compromises rapidly testicular viability. There is approximately a 4- to 8-hour window from the onset of torsion symptoms until surgical intervention is required to save the affected testis. Delays in care may necessitate orchiectomy, which has been associated with reduced fertility. It can occur at any age, with two peaks of frequency: during the first years of life and at puberty. The causes of testicular torsion are multiple and are related to a defect in the fixation system of the testicle. Case Presentation: Here we report an unusual situation of testicular torsion induced by a large epididymal cyst in a young adult. The cyst was excised as well as bilateral testicular fixation and the patient was discharged on the third day. Clinical examinations and Doppler ultrasound at the sixth and twelfth postoperative weeks were both normal. Conclusion: This observation leads us to consider epididymal cysts as a risk factor for TT.
