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

Background/objective: Testicular cancer (TC) is one of the most curable solid malignancies affecting young adults. The objective of this study was to identify factors affecting survival of Saudi adults who were diagnosed with testicular cancer over 10 years. Methods: This was a retrospective study with data extracted from the Saudi Cancer Registry for Saudi Adults diagnosed with TC from 2008 to 2017. We collected demographic information, including age, marital status, region of residency, year of diagnosis, and the survival status. In addition, the tumor factors included the basis of diagnosis, the origin of the tumor, histopathological group and subtype, and tumor behavior, stage, and laterality were collected. Results: A total of 869 patients were included, with a median age of 30 ( Conclusions: A notable increase in the incidence of TC among Saudi adults was seen, with a mortality rate of 5.4% over a period of 10 years. Longer survival was associated with age groups, seminomatous germ cell tumor, and lower tumor stage.
