Giant testicular seminoma with atypical painful presentation and delayed diagnosis: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
Giant testicular tumours are rare in contemporary practice and are typically associated with delayed diagnosis and advanced disease. We report a 32-year-old male presenting with a 1-month history of progressively enlarging, painful right-sided scrotal swelling, initially mischaracterized on ultrasound imaging performed abroad. Examination revealed marked scrotal enlargement with overlying erythema and a buried penis. Computed tomography demonstrated a large right testicular mass with retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy, without distant metastases. Serum tumour markers showed elevated β-human chorionic gonadotropin and lactate dehydrogenase, with normal alpha-fetoprotein. The patient underwent urgent radical inguinal orchidectomy. Histopathology confirmed a pure seminoma measuring 15.8 cm with lymphovascular invasion and spermatic cord involvement (pT3). Post-operatively, tumour markers declined significantly, and the patient was commenced on bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin chemotherapy. This case emphasizes that painful scrotal swelling does not exclude malignancy and highlights the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management.
