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

Paratesticular sarcomas are rare. Most cases reported in the literature are depending on retrospective analysis of case reports, small series, literature reviews, and expert opinion and they show different outcomes depending on several variables. The majority indicate that this may be an indolent tumor with a potential for cure if treated early. We present a case of a 58 year old man with a history of painless enlargement of the right testis. The ultrasound showed an extratesticular lesion and a right excisional of the mass was performed. The pathological examination revealed a leiomyosarcoma, and was then completed with a right radical inguinal orchiectomy. A review of the literature regarding paratesticular sarcomas presentation, diagnosis and treatment is presented in this article.
