Parascrotal Approach for Orchiopexy in Perineal Ectopic Testes: Our Experience Over 10 Years.
Article in Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons. 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
Background/Aim: Perineal ectopic testis (PET) is a very rare condition in the spectrum of abnormally located testis and should be looked for in all children with an empty scrotum who do not have undescended testis (UDT). While the etiology of testicular ectopia is not completely known, the complications are similar to that of UDT, and timely placement in scrotum is critical. Single incision scrotal orchiopexy is increasingly used for low-lying UDT. The aim of this study is to present our experience with parascrotal orchiopexy in the management of PET. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of record of all the cases of PET operated between June 2015 and July 2025 was made, and the following parameters were studied: clinicodemographic profile, details of the operative procedure, and follow up. Results: There were 12 cases of PET during the study period with a mean age of 13.4 ± 5.0 months. The right side was more commonly affected than the left side (ratio 2:1). Clinical diagnosis was possible in most of them, and all underwent orchiopexy by parascrotal incision with a mean operative time of 47 ± 9.4 min. There were no complications, and all the testicles were located within respective scrotal sacs on follow-up ranging from 3 months to 10 years. Conclusion: Parascrotal incision is a feasible and cosmetic approach for orchiopexy in PET.
