A case report of recurrent testicular germ cell tumor in a patient with a history of primary pulmonary germ cell tumor and a review of the literature.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Compared to testicular germ cell tumors, the incidence of extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGCTs) is relatively low. While the lungs are a common site for metastasis of malignant germ cell tumors, primary pulmonary germ cell tumors are extremely rare. Objective: To enhance the understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of germ cell tumors, particularly extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGCTs). Methods: A Case Report of Recurrent Testicular Germ Cell Tumor in a Patient with Primary Pulmonary Germ Cell Tumor and a Review of the Literature. Clinical data: The patient was initially diagnosed with primary pulmonary germ cell tumor and received standard treatment. Five years later, the patient developed a recurrent testicular germ cell tumor. The pathological results from the two surgeries were different, indicating embryonal carcinoma in the first instance and seminoma in the second. Conclusion: For cases with a high suspicion of extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGCTs), early pathological biopsy is essential to confirm the histological subtype and to guide the selection of the most appropriate and sensitive treatment regimen.
