Case Report: Rare Presentation of Mixed Germ Cell Tumor in an Infant.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The estimated incidence of pediatric testis tumor is 0.5-2.0 per 100,000 children, accounting for 1-2% of all pediatric tumors. Mixed germ cell tumors (MGCT) in prepubertal males are exceedingly rare, with only one previous case report found in the literature. We report a case of a MGCT in an infant. For prepubertal males, GCTs typically present with a painless scrotal mass, though trauma, testis torsion and hydrocele are also common presentations. Similar to such tumors in postpubertal males, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and tumor markers are integral to determine the best treatment. The patient described in this report presented with a painless scrotal mass. Following orchiectomy, the patient was found to have MGCT that was limited to the testis. With prudent management, these patients tend to have favorable prognoses.
