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

Cryptorchidism is the most common congenital anomaly of the male genitalia, and if left untreated, it can cause infertility, inguinal hernias, testicular torsion, and an increased risk of testicular germ cell cancer. Torsion of the intra-abdominal testis is a rare cause of acute abdomen that is often misdiagnosed unless there is a strong index of suspicion, a clear history of cryptorchidism, and a scrotal examination. We present a case of torsion of the intra-abdominal testis diagnosed intraoperatively during surgery performed for suspected appendicitis. We also review the management of cryptorchidism.
