Incidentally Detected Bilobed Testis in an Asymptomatic Adult Male: An Uncommon Variant of Polyorchidism.

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
Bilobed testis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly considered an incomplete form of polyorchidism, resulting from incomplete division of the genital ridge during embryogenesis. Fewer than 250 cases of polyorchidism have been reported worldwide, and bilobed variants represent only a small proportion of these cases. Recognition of this benign anatomical variant is important to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention. We report the case of a 37-year-old asymptomatic male in whom a left scrotal mass was detected incidentally on clinical examination. Scrotal ultrasonography demonstrated a well-defined ovoid nodule adjacent to the posterior-inferior aspect of the left testis measuring 14 × 15 × 8 mm. The lesion demonstrated identical echogenicity and internal architecture to the adjacent testicular parenchyma, consistent with a bilobed testis. Follow-up ultrasonography at 18 months showed no interval change, confirming stability. Given the benign imaging features, absence of symptoms and stability on serial imaging, the patient was managed conservatively with reassurance and education regarding testicular self-examination. This case highlights the importance of recognising bilobed testis as a rare but benign congenital variant. Accurate radiological diagnosis can prevent unnecessary surgical exploration, reduce patient anxiety and preserve fertility.
