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

Supernumerary testis (SNT), or polyorchidism, is a rare congenital condition characterized by the presence of 3 or more testes. Here, we present the case of a 53-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer who presented with a painless right-sided scrotal mass and abnormal ultrasound (US) findings. US imaging showed a heterogeneous and hyperechoic paratesticular mass, initially raising concern for a SNT, primary neoplasm, or metastatic process. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was obtained for further evaluation of suspicious features and ultimately confirmed the diagnosis of SNT, allowing for conservative management. Given the imaging findings, the patient did not require surgical intervention and continued routine follow-up with annual testicular exams and prostate-specific antigen levels.
