A case of testicular cancer with retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis of teratoma with somatic-type malignancy 18 years after initial treatment.

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
Introduction: In testicular cancer, late relapse of teratoma with somatic-type malignancy is rare and associated with a poor survival. A case of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis of teratoma with somatic-type malignancy 18 years after initial treatment for testicular cancer is reported. Case presentation: A 46-year-old man had a 15-mm-sized mass in the para-aortic region 18 years after initial treatment for testicular cancer, without elevated serum alfa-fetoprotein or human chorionic gonadotropin levels. Laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection was performed. The pathological findings showed teratoma with somatic-type malignancy, and the findings of primary testicular cancer reported a yolk sac tumor, not teratoma. Conclusion: Late relapse of teratoma with somatic-type malignancy was resected by laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. Therefore, long-term follow-up should be considered if patients with small retroperitoneal masses did not undergo retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, and early detection and surgical resection for relapse might be effective.
