Rare case of pancreatic adenocarcinoma with spermatic cord and testicular metastasis.

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
Male gonadal metastases from pancreatic carcinomas are extremely rare, with fewer than 20 cases documented in the literature. Herein, we report a man in his 50s who presented at the genitourinary outpatient department with an enlarged scrotum (right side) that had developed progressively over several weeks. He also reported mild upper abdominal discomfort. Scrotal sonography revealed a hydrocele on the right side without testicular lesions. A mass pancreatic tail lesion with invasion of the spleen and left adrenal gland was identified through abdominal CT and MRI. Endoscopic ultrasound fine needle biopsy and right radical orchiectomy were performed. Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic tail with hematogenous metastasis to the right testis, epididymis and spermatic cord was verified on the basis of the pathology report. Disease progression occurred despite the patient receiving palliative chemoradiation therapy.
