Right-Sided Triorchidism: A Rare Case of Supernumerary Testis in a Young Adult Male.

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
Triorchidism is an exceptionally rare subtype of polyorchidism, defined by the presence of three testes. Most cases are identified incidentally during evaluation for unrelated scrotal symptoms or imaging studies. Although generally benign, this anomaly has diagnostic and management implications because of potential associations with torsion, cryptorchidism, and malignancy. We report a case of a 22-year-old male who presented with intermittent right scrotal discomfort. Examination revealed a normal left testis and two distinct right-sided testes. Scrotal ultrasonography demonstrated two morphologically normal testes with preserved vascularity, homogeneous echotexture, and separate epididymal and ductal structures. Serum tumour markers were within normal limits, and no radiological features suggestive of neoplasia were observed. The presence of a supernumerary testis is thought to result from segmental duplication of the genital ridge during early gonadal development. When the additional testis is scrotal and radiologically benign, current evidence supports conservative management with routine self-examination and clinical follow-up. Surgical excision is generally reserved for cases with suspicious imaging features or undescended, dysgenetic testes due to the increased risk of malignancy. This report highlights a rare right-sided presentation of triorchidism and reinforces the value of high-resolution ultrasonography in diagnosis. Awareness of this uncommon entity is essential to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention and to preserve fertility potential in otherwise asymptomatic patients.
