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

Among testicular neoplasms, ovarian-type epithelial tumors constitute an exceedingly rare group, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We describe the case of an 82-year-old man, presented with complaints of right leg pain and difficulty walking, who was found to have a large right tibial metastasis of unknown primary origin. Whole body CT scan did not reveal any cranial, thoracic or abdominal tumor masses, but it showed abnormal para-aortic lymph nodes and right spermatic cord swelling. An extemporary ultrasound examination found a right testicular mass. The patient underwent radical orchiectomy, and the diagnosis of a serous papillary carcinoma of the ovarian epithelial type of the testis was made. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature of isolated bone metastasis from ovarian-type epithelial tumor of testis.
