Acute Scrotal Ulcers in a 34-Year-Old Male With an Excellent Treatment Response: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Juvenile gangrenous vasculitis of the scrotum (JGVS) is a rare disease, but it has a distinct presentation and a favourable response to treatment. In this clinical case, we present a male patient in his early 30s with tender scrotal ulcers, no history of sexually transmitted diseases or risk behaviours, and no previous systemic disease or immunosuppression. Studies revealed elevated inflammatory markers, but remarkably, all microbiologic studies were negative. The patient was diagnosed with JGVS and was treated with methylprednisolone 24 mg, tapered over two months, in combination with doxycycline 100 mg BID for one month, and topical clobetasol under occlusion, with complete healing in two months and no relapse. This case contributes to the existing knowledge of JGVS. Typically, patients are young, usually under 30 years old; however, this patient was slightly older. While exclusive scrotal involvement is common, this patient also exhibited smaller satellite ulcers on the adjacent thigh.
