Unilateral Gynecomastia and Primary Hypogonadism Following Brucellosis Infection: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Brucellosis is a bacterial infection with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, yet endocrine complications such as primary hypogonadism and gynecomastia are exceedingly rare. We present the case of a 60-year-old male who was treated for brucellosis and, several weeks after discharge, developed unilateral enlargement of the left breast. Laboratory evaluation revealed significantly elevated gonadotropins (FSH and LH) with markedly decreased serum testosterone levels, indicating primary testicular failure. Sonographic imaging confirmed gynecomastia with a flame-shaped, irregular mass. This case highlights a rare hormonal sequela of brucellosis and emphasizes the importance of endocrine evaluation in patients who present with atypical manifestations following systemic infections.
