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

Purpose: To report a case of testicular choriocarcinoma with choroidal metastasis in a patient who initially presented with visual symptoms that resulted in the diagnosis and treatment of his underlying malignancy and to summarize prior reports in the literature. Observations: Choroidal metastasis is a rare manifestation of choriocarcinoma and reported cases have been associated with substantial vision loss and poor survival. Choroidal metastases from testicular choriocarcinoma are often associated with significant intraocular hemorrhage and can mimic other choroidal lesions such as choroidal melanoma. Multimodal imaging can help differentiate between these lesions. Conclusion and importance: In a patient who presents with a choroidal lesion and hemorrhage, metastatic testicular choriocarcinoma should be considered.
