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

Although testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) are known to curable disease even in cases with metastatic disease, patients in intermediate or poor-risk group may experience disease progression or refractory to the initial chemotherapy and needed second-line therapy. Long-term disease-free survival was unsatisfactory in relapsed/refractory patients with poor-risk factors and clinical trials for those patients are still insufficient. High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with stem-cell rescue may be an effective alternative for conventional chemotherapy-resistant patients who are eligible for transplantation. Herein, we present successful treatment experience with HDCT followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation in a severely ill patient with heavily pretreated metastatic GCT.
