The great pretender: Torsion of a giant intra-abdominal seminoma presenting as acute appendicitis-A rare diagnostic trap.
Article in Urology 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
Acute appendicitis may mask rare surgical emergencies. Torsion of an intra-abdominal undescended testis with malignancy is exceptionally uncommon. A 27-year-old man presented with 3 days of right lower quadrant pain, vomiting, and anorexia. Examination showed peritonitis and an absent right testis. Laparotomy for presumed appendicitis revealed a normal appendix and an 11 × 13 × 12 cm intra-abdominal mass with a 540° torsed spermatic cord. Right radical orchiectomy was performed. Histopathology confirmed classical seminoma. Final stage was pT2N0M0S0 Stage IB. Giant torsed seminoma can mimic appendicitis; genital examination is essential.
