Primary extragonadal germ cell tumor: A case report on prostate seminoma.
Article in Oncology letters, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Primary extragonadal germ cell tumors are rare, and 60% of such cases are seminomas. While the tumors can occur in the mediastinum, thymus, retroperitoneal organs and pineal gland, seminoma originating in the prostate tissue is extremely rare. The present study reports the case of a 54-year-old male with prostate seminoma. The patient was followed up at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University (Dalian, Liaoning, China) from 2001 onwards. The patient received chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide following total resection of the pelvic organs, pelvic lymph node dissection, continent detenial cecum-ascending colic bladder and orchidectomy. The patient experienced considerable post-operative quality of life for >10 years and the disease did not reappear. The study indicated that extragonadal seminoma is sensitive to chemotherapy, and that radical surgery and post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide is a reasonable and feasible treatment method.
