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

This case report describes a rare case of testicular metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, which led to first diagnosis of the primary. The patient presented with a progressive painless swelling of the left testicle. After initial suspicion of a testicular tumor, inguinal excision of the testis was performed, which confirmed the presence of a clear cell carcinoma. Further investigations revealed evidence of a primary carcinoma on the left-lower pole of the kidney, which was removed by partial nephrectomy. Histopathologically, clear cell renal cell carcinoma was confirmed. Treatment was supplemented by adjuvant immunotherapy with pembrolizumab. Postoperative follow-up has shown no evidence of recurrence to date.
