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

Introduction: Germ cell tumor with malignant transformation is extremely rare. We present a case of testicular primitive neuroectodermal tumor with multiple metastases that was effectively managed by surgery, irradiation, and second-line chemotherapy. Case presentation: A 22-year-old man was diagnosed as having teratoma including primitive neuroectodermal tumor with lymph node and multiple bone metastases. Five months afterwards the first-line therapy, his skull metastasis recurred. Vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide therapy followed by vincristine, actinomycin D, and cyclophosphamide therapy was given as second-line chemotherapy. Computed tomography revealed no disease progression 3 months after the treatments. Conclusion: Metastatic primitive neuroectodermal tumor may be successfully managed by multidisciplinary cancer treatment.
