Testis sparing surgery for Leydig cell tumor, surgical approach, and clinical outcome: A case report and review of literature.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Testicular Leydig cell tumors are rare neoplasms of the testes. These tumors are generally benign but malignancy and metastatic potential have been described. Here, we present a case of Leydig cell tumor in a 49-year-old male, incidentally discovered as a testicular mass. The patient had no significant previous medical history. Ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic, well-defined, vascularized lesion measuring 7 × 7 × 4 mm adjacent to the tunica albuginea. The patient underwent testis sparing surgery, employing a modified approach including intraoperative ultrasound-guided localization, en-bloc wedge resection of the lesion with surrounding tunica albuginea and seminiferous tubules, and gubernaculum sparing surgery. Postoperatively, the patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the same day. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Leydig cell tumor, with no high-risk pathological features observed. Regular follow-up intervals were scheduled to monitor for potential recurrence, emphasizing the importance of vigilant postoperative surveillance in cases of testis-sparing surgery for Leydig cell tumors.
