Post-herniotomy Ischemic Orchitis in a Child: A Silent Threat.
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
Ischemic orchitis is an uncommon but potentially serious complication of pediatric inguinal hernia repair. Although most postoperative alterations in testicular blood flow are transient, persistent ischemia may progress to infarction and testicular loss. Doppler ultrasonography is the key diagnostic tool for early recognition. Awareness of this rare complication, careful surgical technique, and prompt evaluation of postoperative scrotal symptoms are essential to optimize outcomes and preserve testicular viability in children undergoing herniotomy. We report a six-year-old boy who developed acute scrotal pain and swelling following elective right herniotomy. Doppler ultrasound revealed markedly reduced intratesticular blood flow consistent with ischemic orchitis. Despite initial conservative management, progressive ischemia necessitated scrotal exploration, which revealed a non-viable testis requiring orchiectomy.
