1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimsCryptorchidism is a common congenital male genitourinary anomaly with multifactorial etiology. Data on parental age, consanguinity, parity, and delivery mode among affected children in Middle Eastern populations remain limited. This study evaluated the distribution of these factors among children undergoing orchidopexy in Northern Jordan. PATIENTS AND

methodsA retrospective study was conducted at Princess Rahma Teaching Hospital, Northern Jordan, including males aged 1-11 years who underwent orchidopexy for cryptorchidism between January 2016 and July 2024. Data were obtained from medical records and supplemented by structured telephone interviews.

resultsThe study included 446 patients. Mean paternal and maternal ages were 34.5 ± 7 and 28.5 ± 6.6 years, respectively. Consanguinity was reported in 27.6% of families, 58.3% of births were vaginal deliveries, and 53.6% of families had ≥3 children. Fathers aged ≥40 years accounted for 24% of the cohort, whereas mothers aged ≥35 years represented 18.2%. Consanguineous families had lower paternal age (p = 0.044) and more frequently had parity >5 (11% vs. 3%, p = 0.013).

conclusionsDistinct demographic patterns involving consanguinity, paternal age, and parity were observed among children with cryptorchidism in Northern Jordan, supporting the need for further controlled regional studies.
