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

We describe a unique presentation of acute lower limb ischaemia due to metastatic seminoma in a middle-aged man with a large retroperitoneal mass. The patient underwent vascular bypass surgery of the right lower limb, completed chemotherapy, and had a right scrotal orchiectomy. The patient had pre-existing vascular risk factors including peripheral vascular disease and smoking. To our knowledge this is the first published case in the literature that has described a large retroperitoneal seminoma compressing the abdominal aorta resulting in acute lower limb ischaemia.
