Mental health after orchiectomy: Systematic review and strategic management.
Review in Arab journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Orchiectomy, the surgical removal of one or both testicles, is often a life-changing procedure. While it is a critical treatment step for conditions such as testicular cancer, advanced prostate cancer, severe unresolving infection, trauma and gender dysphoria, the associated psychological challenges remain underexplored. Depression, anxiety, body image concerns, and diminished quality of life are prevalent but insufficiently addressed. This review synthesizes available literature to quantify these psychological impacts, explore cultural and demographic influences, and present evidence-based management strategies. The review highlights the importance of pre-operative counselling, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and social support networks. Future research should focus on longitudinal assessments to better understand long-term mental health outcomes post-orchiectomy.
