Features and Management of Late Relapse of Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumour.

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
backgroundLate relapse (LR) of nonseminomatous germ cell tumour (NSGCT) is uncommon, with limited data published. LR is defined as relapse occurring after a disease-free interval of 2 yr.
objectiveTo review features of NSGCT LR in a UK tertiary centre. DESIGN SETTING AND
participantsA total of 3064 patients were referred from January 2005 to December 2017. We identified patients who experienced LR after initial pathology demonstrated NSGCT and reviewed data for their original and LR presentation and management. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Outcomes included time to LR measured from the date of diagnosis, and overall survival. This was assessed using Cox proportional Hazards modelling, with stratification or adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: We identified 101 patients with LR; the median time to LR was 96 mo. Forty-three patients (42.6%) experienced relapse after 10 yr. Univariable log-rank testing revealed that the median time to LR was significantly shorter for patients who had not received induction chemotherapy (iCTx; 54 mo, 95% confidence interval [CI] 48-108) than for those who did (112 mo, 95% CI 84-186;
conclusionsWhen LR of NSGCT occurs, it is frequently after an extended interval and is later among patients with prior iCTx, with PPT predominating. The high frequency of LR within the retroperitoneum following PC-RPLND reinforces the need for good-quality PC-RPLND. PATIENT SUMMARY: We reviewed data for patients who had a late relapse of testicular cancer. We found that patients who did not receive chemotherapy as the first treatment for their initial diagnosis had a shorter time to relapse. Our results highlight the importance of long-term follow-up for testicular cancer.
