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

The surgical management of disseminated disease has long been an essential component in the management of patients with testis cancer. While the indications for surgery have been narrowed since the advent of cisplatin based chemotherapy, resection remains essential to provide long-term survival. The indications for surgery vary by histology and rely on adequate preoperative imaging to evaluate for residual disease. Surgery for postchemotherapy testis cancer is challenging and requires that surgeons be prepared for extraretroperitoneal resections and adjunctive procedures as necessary. Herein, we review the imaging options that are essential for surgical planning and the various surgical techniques that are often necessary in this challenging situation.
