Intra-abdominal Testicular Torsion: 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
The torsion of an ectopic testis is a rare urological condition encountered only infrequently in clinical practice, and its symptoms may be misleading and interpreted as signs of other common conditions. We report an unusual case of a 20-year-old male patient who sought emergency medical care for acute abdominal pain. On examination, an empty left hemiscrotum was found, and an immediate (CT) scan of the abdomen showed torsion of an intra-abdominal testis. The patient underwent urgent surgical exploration, during which the ectopic testis was found to be viable and was successfully preserved and fixed in a suprascrotal position by orchiopexy. The salvage rates for torsion of the ectopic testis are low but a clinical suspicion and early diagnosis may salvage the testis. It is essential that any young man presenting to the emergency department with abdominal pain undergo a full genitourinary examination, including testicular examination.
