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

Neurofibromatosis 1 is a relatively rare genetic disease characterized by widespread neurofibromas originating from the peripheral nervous system. Most growths are benign, but some carry a risk of transformation to malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Although these growths can be found anywhere in the body, they are rarely found in the male external genitalia. This report discusses a case of a 25-year-old male patient with neurofibromatosis 1 presenting with a scrotal mass found to have a very large para-testicular intra-scrotal malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor that required testicle-sparing radical penectomy.
