Paratesticular sarcomas: a case series and literature review.
Article in Therapeutic advances in urology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 soft tissue tumours are remarkably rare entities, with malignant subtypes accounting for approximately 30%. Due to the paucity of cases, a consensus on the best treatment has not yet been reached, presenting a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians. Although rare, three such cases presented to the care of our institution serving a population of approximately 400,000 in the space of 13 months. These were three gentlemen, aged 54, 82 and 86 years old, presenting with left sided testicular swellings. Ultrasound in each case confirmed an extratesticular mass. Only the second gentleman complained of associated pain, however he had experienced scrotal trauma in the preceding weeks. Only one patient had suspicions of metastatic disease, with a 9 mm pulmonary nodule on computed tomography. All patients underwent a radical inguinal orchidectomy with high ligation of the spermatic cord, in keeping with best accepted guidelines. Histology confirmed a well-differentiated liposarcoma, a dedifferentiated liposarcoma and a leiomyosarcoma respectively, all high grade. One gentleman returned to theatre for re-excision of margins. Our case series emphasises the need for full multidisciplinary team specialist sarcoma input, as well as radical resection with judicious margins in order to reduce the risk of local recurrence, in the treatment of these rare tumours.
