Primary paraganglioma of seminal vesicle.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionParagangliomas are rare tumors arising from neural crest tissue located outside the adrenal gland. Primary seminal vesicle paraganglioma is extremely rare entity. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 26-year-old male patient presented with symptoms and signs of acute appendicitis where a CT of abdomen and pelvis showed an inflamed appendix and incidental finding of left seminal vesicle mass. The patient underwent uneventful laparoscopic appendectomy followed by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided seminal vesicle biopsies. Histopathology revealed a neuroendocrine neoplasm consistent with paraganglioma. Surgical excision of the left seminal vesicle was carried out. DISCUSSION: Paraganglioma of genitourinary tract is rare. The urinary bladder is the most common site, followed by the urethra, pelvis and ureter. Seminal vesicle paragangliomas were reported in association with other genitourinary organ involvement such as bladder and prostate. Isolated seminal vesicle paraganglioma is extremely rare and surgical excision remains the standard treatment for localized paraganglioma.
conclusionPrimary tumors of seminal vesicle are rare and represent a diagnostic challenge. Differential diagnosis includes a list of benign and malignant tumors. Primary seminal vesicle paraganglioma is a rare but important diagnosis to be included in the differential diagnosis.
