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

Testicular cancer is one of the most curable cancers. However, the course of the disease largely depends on the clinical stage at diagnosis, and there are still cases where the tumor size is large, which makes surgical treatment challenging. A 30-year-old man presented with painless, extremely enlarged scrotum. A CT scan revealed a tumor of the right testis of 21.5 × 15 × 18cm in size. The patient underwent a right orchiectomy and histologic examination revealed teratocarcinoma. Suspicion of hydrocele testis should prompt meticulous differential diagnosis including malignancies. There is a strong need to increase public awareness in terms of symptoms of testicular cancer.
