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

Earlier revisions of the WHO classification of testicular tumors, which was originally published in 1977, contained only minor additions. In the WHO 2016 classification, in contrast, germ cell tumors are split into two major groups based on their distinct pathohistogenesis, i. e., those which derive from an in situ forerunner lesion and those which do not. The latter category includes prepubertal yolk sac tumors and teratomas, as well as spermatocytic seminoma. The classification of yolk sac tumors and teratomas as arising before or after puberty is also of prognostic value. The group of trophoblastic tumors has also been divided into choriocarcinoma and "nonchoriocarcinomatous trophoblastic tumors," which are rare but may also be clinically significant. The changes in the classification of the sex cord-stromal tumors are not particularly important; rare variants without clinical importance of the single well-known tumors have been omitted. A new entity, a kind of "in situ" large cell Sertoli cell neoplasia, has been introduced.
