Spermatocytic tumor associated with metastases: report of a rare case and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Spermatocytic tumor (ST) is an exceedingly rare testicular neoplasm with non-specific clinical presentations, requiring histopathological confirmation for diagnosis. Radical orchiectomy remains the cornerstone of treatment, achieving favorable outcomes in most cases. However, early metastasis observed in some patients emphasizes the necessity of comprehensive systemic staging at diagnosis and rigorous postoperative surveillance. Current evidence is largely derived from case reports, limiting robust clinical guidance. Herein we present a case of pure testicular ST with synchronous multiple pulmonary metastases managed at Tangdu Hospital. Despite undergoing radical orchiectomy followed by chemotherapy, the patient exhibited disease progression. Additionally, we performed a literature review of published ST cases to summarize its clinicopathological features, treatment paradigms, and prognostic patterns. This study highlights the challenges in managing advanced ST and underscores the need for standardized therapeutic protocols.
