Madelung Disease of the Scrotal Region: A Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Madelung disease is a rare disorder characterized by symmetrical fat accumulation, typically around the neck, shoulders, and trunk. Case Presentation: A 56-year-old man presented for 10-month history of dysuria and painless swelling of the lower abdomen and scrotum. A large scrotal mass completely buried the penis, and cranially displaced both testes. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging suggested a well differentiated liposarcoma but whole-body computed tomography revealed symmetrical fat accumulation in the upper body trunk, raising suspicion of Madelung disease. Biopsy of the mass confirmed a benign lipoma. Excision of a 664 g lipoma improved the patient's penile configuration, enabling him to urinate in a standing position. Conclusion: Madelung disease in the scrotal region is rare, only nine cases reported to date. However, it should be considered when bilateral symmetrical fat accumulation is present because a correct diagnosis has a decisive impact on treatment strategy.
