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

Germ cell tumour (GCT) is the most common testicular tumour that commonly presents as a painless mass. Bone marrow metastasis in cases of testicular GCT is rare; only few case reports are available till date in the literature. Here an adult male presented with an intra-abdominal mass in right iliac fossa with inguinal lymphadenopathy with a deranged kidney function test. Bone marrow (BM) aspirate smear revealed metastatic tumour cells, but BM-biopsy was unremarkable. High serum Beta - HCG (38286 mIU/L) pointed towards germ cell lesion. Lymph node biopsy along with immunomarkers confirmed metastatic foci from germ cell tumor and managed as per standard protocol. Rarely BM aspirate is seen positive for malignancy, while biopsy turns out to be negative. Secondly, BM metastasis of GCT should be considered while dealing with cases like this. Informed consent: This is certified that the informed consent has been obtained from the patient.
