Indirect Inguinal Hernia Causing Testicular Ischemia: A Case Report.
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
Testicular ischemia secondary to an incarcerated inguinal hernia is a rare but serious complication that requires urgent surgical intervention. We report the case of a 31-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with severe left testicular pain, inguinal fullness, and scrotal swelling. Urgent scrotal ultrasonography suggested that the patient had testicular torsion. Intraoperatively, no torsion was identified, and the hernia had extended into the scrotum, causing compression and constriction of the spermatic cord. Furthermore, inguinal hernia repair with mesh and left orchidopexy were performed. Follow-up ultrasonography demonstrated good testicular vascularity. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was discharged in good condition.
