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

Malacoplakia is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disease. The commonest form of malacoplakia after renal transplant is allograft parenchymal involvement while testicular malacoplakia remains one of the rarest forms amongst recipients of renal transplant. We report a case of a 58-year-old gentleman, with live donor renal transplantation 39 years ago, who presented to our unit with one-week history of acute left scrotal pain. Ultrasonography revealed a heterogeneous left testicular mass. Inguinal orchidectomy was done and the lesion was confirmed to be malacoplakia. Testicular malacoplakia is rare. Clinicians managing renal transplant recipients should be alert of this condition in their practice.
