An Uncommon Presentation of Growing Teratoma Syndrome in a Patient Treated for Testicular Immature Teratoma: 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
Growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) is an uncommon post-chemotherapy event in non-seminomatous germ cell tumors and presents as enlarging masses composed of mature teratoma despite normalized markers. As systemic therapy is generally ineffective, treatment focuses on surgical excision. We report the case of a 30-year-old male with an immature teratoma of the right testis who, after completing chemotherapy with normalized tumor markers, developed enlarging lymph node masses histologically confirmed as mature teratoma, consistent with GTS. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for GTS in patients with immature teratomas undergoing chemotherapy and underscores the critical role of multidisciplinary follow-up to ensure timely diagnosis and effective management.
