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

Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the leading cause of cancer-related death in males between the ages of 20 and 40. In the advanced stages, the combination of cisplatin-based chemotherapy and surgical excision of the remaining tumor can cure many of these patients. Vascular procedures may be required during retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) in order to achieve the complete excision of all residual retroperitoneal masses. Careful assessment of pre-operative imaging and the identification of patients who could benefit from additional procedures are important for minimizing peri- and postoperative complications. We report on a case of a 27-year-old patient with non-seminomatous TGCT, who successfully underwent post-chemotherapy RPLND with additional infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC) and complete abdominal aorta replacement using synthetic grafts.
