Single-Armed Longitudinal Intussusception Vasoepididymostomy in an Ex Vivo Rat Model With Video Demonstration.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Microsurgical vasoepididymostomy (VE) is a technically demanding procedure that benefits from deliberate, reproducible skills training. Practice opportunities may be limited by the cost and availability of double-armed microsutures used in traditional two-needle intussusception techniques. Single-armed longitudinal intussusception vasoepididymostomy (SA-LIVE) reduces reliance on double-armed sutures. Although SA-LIVE has been described in prior publications, still images alone may not fully capture the sequence and microsurgical nuances; a video demonstration can improve clarity for learners. We present a step-by-step SA-LIVE technique for an ex vivo rat testis training model, using readily available single-armed 10-0 and 9-0 nylon sutures. The protocol standardizes the longitudinal intussusception sequence and is paired with a video demonstration illustrating each step to aid comprehension and reproducibility. This technical report is intended as a microsurgical training resource and does not include comparative outcome data.
