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

Acute scrotal pain is commonly reported by male patients in emergency settings and comprises a wide range of potential pathological causes. An accurate and expedient diagnosis is essential to avoid treatment and management delays. As such, recognizing imaging features of these clinical conditions is vital. Ultrasonography (US) is the first-line imaging modality for assessing scrotal status and identifying pathologies because of its ease of use, expediency, and high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. In this case series, we describe the different sonographic features of acute scrotal pathologies seen in emergency settings.
