Gastrointestinal bleeding caused by metastatic testicular choriocarcinoma: a case report and literature review.
Review in World journal of surgical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundTesticular tumor is one of the common solid tumors in young men. Testicular choriocarcinoma is a non-spermatogonial germ cell tumor, which is the rarest of all testicular cancers. Choriocarcinoma usually shows bleeding at the metastatic site, while gastrointestinal involvement is rare.
methodsHere, we report a case of testicular choriocarcinoma with gastrointestinal bleeding as the first diagnosis and summarize the similar cases all over the world in recent 20 years.
resultsA 28-year-old male was treated with repeated melena for 2 months. No bleeding foci of the stomach, duodenum, colon, and rectum were found in endoscopy, and no bleeding foci of digestive tract was found in selective angiography, but a space occupying lesions of the lung, liver, and upper jejunum were found in chest and abdominal CT. Considering the possibility of a metastatic tumor and the ineffectiveness of medical treatment, the patient was converted to surgical treatment. The postoperative pathology was consistent with testicular choriocarcinoma. The patient received a chemotherapy regimen of paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin. At present, the chemotherapy regimen is well tolerated.
conclusionsThe case report confirmed that even if we cannot find the logical relationship between clinical manifestations and genital examination, genital examination should also be part of the patient's systematic examination.
