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

Undescended testis is most common congenital malformation in boys. Most common location is inguinal canal but rarely it is found in intraabdominal. 10% of them will grow become mass if left untreated. This case report describes cases of men of 40s with unilateral UDT and not noticeable until they felt heavy and feel palpable mass in abdomen revealed as seminoma. He is sterile and not be able to reproduce. Chemotherapy was done and the response was remarkable. This case report reiterates the need for a scrotal examination in men presenting with an abdominal mass, so as to rule out an intra-abdominal seminoma.
