Prevalence and management of testicular incidentaloma in men with male factor infertility: Experience of a high-volume tertiary center.
Article in Urology annals. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Testicular lesions most frequently present as palpable testicular masses. Interestingly, the identification of impalpable small testicular masses in patients with male factor infertility is occurring increasingly frequently, most probably due to the widespread use of testicular ultrasonography. In this study, we aim to provide insight into the likelihood of small incidentally found testicular masses and the recommended primary management. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 2680 infertile men with evidence of testicular lesion <2 cm incidentally found on ultrasound during infertility evaluation. Results: A total of 20/2680 (0.74%) of patients had an intraoperative frozen section due to an incidental testicular lesion. Eighty percent (16/20) found out to be Leydig cell hyperplasia, 15% were Leydig cell benign tumors, and 5% were benign hemangioma. Conclusion: Reassurance and observation are recommended for the small (<2 cm) incidental testicular lesion found during male infertility evaluation.
