Idiopathic scrotal hematoma in newborns: a case report and literature review.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 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
Neonatal acute scrotum is an uncommon condition, with testicular torsion being the most critical differential diagnosis. Idiopathic scrotal hematoma is a rare entity characterized by scrotal swelling and discoloration, with preserved testicular perfusion. Differentiating idiopathic scrotal hematoma from testicular torsion is challenging but essential to avoid unnecessary surgery. We report a case of a newborn who presented with scrotal swelling and discoloration at 72 h of life. Doppler ultrasound revealed preserved testicular blood flow, and abdominal ultrasound excluded intra-abdominal pathology. The patient was diagnosed with idiopathic scrotal hematoma and managed conservatively. A review of 16 cases of neonatal idiopathic scrotal hematoma highlights its diagnostic challenges and the potential for misdiagnosis. While early reports emphasized surgical exploration, advances in imaging, particularly Doppler ultrasound, now allow for non-invasive diagnosis and conservative management.
