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

Spermatocytic tumors are rare testicular cancers, accounting for less than 1 % of all testicular neoplasms, usually affecting older men. This report details a 35-year-old male with a spermatocytic tumor featuring extensive lymphovascular invasion. The patient had a painless, slow-growing right testicular mass, with normal serum tumor markers. Ultrasound and CT scans suggested malignancy. Post-orchiectomy, histopathology confirmed a spermatocytic tumor with polymorphic cells and lymphovascular invasion. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for SALL4 and CD117, negative for OCT4, AFP, and CD30. The patient underwent chemotherapy and remained recurrence-free for a year, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and long-term monitoring.
