Testicular neuroendocrine tumor in a 32-year-old man: A case report.

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
Key Clinical Message: A 32-year-old male with painful scrotal swelling who underwent radical orchiectomy and was diagnosed with a testicular neuroendocrine tumor. Determining whether testicular neuroendocrine tumor is primary or metastasis from another origin is crucial. Abstract: Testicular neuroendocrine tumors (TNET) are one of the rarest human neoplasms, with about 132 identified cases until 2015. Testicular neuroendocrine tumors are frequently manifest with painless scrotal swelling or mass. In this study, we present a 32-year-old male with a chief complaint of painful progressive swelling of the right testicle without any history of trauma. All laboratory tests were within the normal range. Ultrasound revealed two hyper-vascular masses in the right testicle. Computed tomography was performed, and patients had no evidence of metastases. The patient underwent right radical orchiectomy, and a histopathological examination diagnosed the specimen with a well-differentiated testicular neuroendocrine tumor. Because of the rarity of TNET, there are many controversial issues in the treatment, especially in cases with metastatic TNET. Determining whether testicular neuroendocrine tumor is primary or metastasis from another origin is crucial. Further studies are required to achieve optimum treatment for TNET.
