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

Teratomas are nonseminomatous germ cell tumors typically managed with platinum-based chemotherapy followed by resection of residual disease. We report the case of a 29-year-old man with metastatic nonseminomatous testicular cancer who developed a persistent 16 cm postchemotherapy retroperitoneal teratoma encasing the supraceliac and infrarenal aorta and involving the left renal hilum. He underwent open resection through a midline transperitoneal approach with mediastinal tumor resection, en bloc aortic resection, extended left nephrectomy, and juxtarenal aortic reconstruction using a rifampin-soaked polyester graft to achieve microscopically margin-negative (R0) complete resection. Postoperatively, he had transient renal dysfunction and a chyle leak requiring intervention. At the 3-year follow-up, he remained disease-free.
