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
Dedifferentiated liposarcoma is a rare cancer with a poor prognosis. A 52-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of a mass in his left scrotum. He came with suspected testicular tumor, but all the measured tumor markers were negative. Imaging test showed approximately 2 cm diameter mass accompanied by calcification with some substantial components between the testis and epididymis. Left high testicular resection was performed. The tumor had no continuity between the testis and epididymis, and the spermatic cord transection was negative. Pathological findings showed well differentiated fatty component and a dedifferentiated component around the trabecular bone-like tissue. We observed dedifferentiated dysmorphic cells mixed with fatty droplets of unequal size. Immunostaining led to the diagnosis of dedifferentiated liposarcoma. No additional postoperative therapy was performed. The possibility of dedifferentiated liposarcoma should be kept in mind even if mass is confined to the scrotum and consisted of calcification. In the case of an intrascrotal calcified mass with malignant perspective, radical surgery is highly recommended.
