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

We describe a case of a primary carcinoid tumor of the testis in a 35-year-old man as an incidental finding. Testicular ultrasound showed a 1.1 cm hypoechoic/isoechoic mass with some calcification in the left testicle. The pathology examination of the radical orchiectomy demonstrated a pure carcinoid tumor, with the adjacent coarse calcification. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed 35 % of the tumor cells had one additional chromosome 12p11.21 signal. This case adds to the rare reports in the literature of a primary pure carcinoid tumor of the testis, and provides additional insight into the radiological and pathological correlation of this disease.
