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

A mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the seminal vesicle gland is an uncommon neoplasm characterized by a dual population of epithelial and stromal cells. In this case report, we present a 59-year-old male patient who presented with a large, 10 cm mass in the left seminal vesicle, which was preliminarily suspected to be a malignant tumor of the seminal vesicle based on magnetic resonance imaging findings. Histopathological evaluation, however, revealed a tumor with biphasic epithelial-mesenchymal differentiation, predominantly displaying mesenchymal characteristics. The epithelium and stroma displayed papillary and foliar structures, respectively. The epithelial cells were bland, arranged in either single or multi-layered cuboidal patterns, and the stromal cells were spindle shaped with a sparse distribution. The patient experienced a favorable postoperative outcome. The diagnosis of mixed epithelial and stromal tumor is challenging based on clinical and imaging findings alone, and definitive diagnosis relies on pathological examination. This case report addresses a rare presentation of low-grade mixed epithelial and stromal tumor in the seminal vesicle gland and aims to expand the understanding of this entity by reviewing the relevant literature.
