Paediatric benign cystic monodermal testicular teratoma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2014. 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
We present a case of a painless progressively increasing mass in the left upper testis in a 5-year-old boy, which was detected by his father performing testicular examination after observing asymmetry of the scrotum. Clinical examination, tumour markers, ultrasound scan including colour Doppler studies, and finally inguinal exploration and histopathology were helpful in establishing the diagnosis of benign cystic monodermal testicular teratoma. Testicular teratoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any child presenting with non-traumatic painless progressive scrotal swelling. Inguinal radical orchiectomy is the traditional gold standard treatment for benign testicular teratoma in children. Testis-sparing surgery should be reserved for smaller testicular tumours known to be benign.
