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

Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, accounting for one-third of malignancies in this age group. Testicular infiltration in pediatric leukemia patients represents a manifestation of leukemic dissemination beyond the bone marrow and can occur at diagnosis or be a sign of relapse. Testicular infiltration may occur particularly in specific leukemia subtypes, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) and is an important prognostic factor, as it may indicate an increased risk of leukemia relapse. Therefore, rigorous follow-up is essential to detect testicular infiltration early and initiate appropriate treatment. This study aims to evaluate cases of leukemia with testicular infiltration in two pediatric oncology referral centers in two different countries. We conducted a retrospective study of patients presenting with secondary testicular infiltration due to leukemia over a 14-year period (January 2010 to December 2023). During the study period, we identified 24 patients who developed testicular infiltration secondary to leukemia. All cases of testicular infiltration were diagnosed at the time of disease relapse. Fourteen patients presented with isolated testicular relapse, while the remaining patients had additional relapse sites in combination with testicular recurrence: bone marrow (10 cases) and central nervous system (2 cases). The mean age at diagnosis was 7.91 years. The average leukocyte count at diagnosis was 56 211/mm
