Scrotal Abscess Revealing Epididymal Tuberculosis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
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
Genitourinary tuberculosis is one of the most frequent forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and represents a significant health concern in endemic regions. Epididymal involvement is the most common manifestation of male genital tuberculosis. However, presentation as a scrotal abscess is uncommon and may lead to diagnostic confusion with other infectious conditions. We report the case of a 36-year-old man with no significant past medical or surgical history who presented with a two‑month history of progressive left scrotal pain associated with fever. The patient initially underwent drainage of a presumed scrotal abscess followed by conventional antibiotic therapy without clinical improvement. A second surgical exploration with debridement was required. Microbiological examination of pus revealed acid‑fast bacilli, while culture and polymerase chain reaction confirmed
