Radiological clues for diagnosing intra-abdominal seminoma in undescended testis on computed tomography.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report a case of intra-abdominal seminoma in an undescended testis, focusing on the radiological clues for diagnosis on computed tomography. A 49-year-old man visited our hospital with a palpable abdominal mass and underwent abdominopelvic computed tomography. Computed tomography demonstrated an ovoid, mildly enhanced, well-defined mass measuring 21 × 16 × 9 cm in the small bowel mesentery mimicking a mass of mesenteric origin. However, a vascular structure was observed in the left posterior aspect of the mass. The vascular structure originated from the inferior posterior part of the mass and ran cranially. The artery subsequently united to the aorta, and the vein united to the left renal vein. We identified the artery and vein as the testicular artery and vein, respectively. We also noted the absence of a left spermatic cord in the left inguinal canal. Therefore, we concluded that the mass originated from the left undescended testis. The patient underwent surgery, and the mass was removed with the testicular vessels; the resected testicular vein was mostly filled with thrombus. On pathological examination, the mass was confirmed to be a seminoma in the undescended testis.
