A Rare Case of Testicular Vein Thrombosis in an 18-Year-Old Male.
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
Testicular vein thrombosis is a rare cause of acute scrotal pain and swelling, with very few cases reported in adolescents. We present a case of an 18-year-old male with a 24 h history of sudden-onset left scrotal pain and swelling, without prior trauma, infection, or surgery. Physical examination revealed mild tenderness along the spermatic cord, and Doppler ultrasound demonstrated a non-compressible thrombus in the left testicular vein extending into the abdomen, confirming the diagnosis. The patient was treated with a short four-week course of apixaban on hematology advice, along with activity restriction and scrotal support. Follow-up imaging showed partial recanalization and complete symptomatic improvement. This case underscores the importance of early recognition, Doppler imaging, and conservative anticoagulation therapy in achieving favorable outcomes while avoiding unnecessary surgical exploration.
