Cervical Spinal Cord Metastasis of Germ Cell Tumor: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
Malignant germ cell tumors (GCTs) spreading to the central nervous system (CNS) are uncommon, particularly when it comes to spinal cord metastases, which are extremely rare. This report details a case involving a metastatic cervical spinal cord GCT in a patient who had previously been diagnosed with a primary malignant GCT of the right testicle 3 years earlier. The patient experienced progressive cervical pain, and imaging revealed a mass in the cervical spinal cord area. Histopathological analysis confirmed that the mass was a malignant GCT, indicating it was a metastatic spread from the original testicular tumor. This case underscores the rarity of spinal cord metastases resulting from GCTs and emphasizes the necessity of considering metastatic disease in patients with a history of GCTs when they present with neurological symptoms (as often the earliest and most common presenting features).
