Laparoscopic Management of Seminoma in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Seminoma, a malignant neoplasm originating from germ cells, is a rare diagnosis in pediatric patients and seldom requires surgical intervention. In cases of retroperitoneal lymph node involvement, laparoscopic resection may reduce the invasiveness of the surgical intervention compared to traditional open surgery; however, it raises concerns about the oncological completeness of the procedure. We present a case report of an 11-year-old male patient who was admitted to the hospital for further diagnostic evaluation following abnormal imaging studies prompted by persistent headaches. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed pathological mass in the left retroperitoneal space. A surgical biopsy of these lesions confirmed the diagnosis of seminoma. The patient was subsequently referred for chemotherapy, and after completing two cycles, a decision was made to proceed with laparoscopic resection of the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. The operation was performed without complications, and the patient continues to receive oncological follow-up. The selection of laparoscopic surgery enabled a reduction in the invasiveness of the surgical procedure while achieving a complete oncological resection of pathological lesions.
