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

Testicular sex cord-stromal tumours (TSCSTs) represent ~4%-8% of all testicular neoplasms. Most show a Leydig or Sertoli cell phenotype and exhibit benign clinical behaviour. However, a subset of ~10% is malignant and clinically problematic, as TGCTs do not respond to systemic therapy. Classification of TSCSTs has relied on morphology, with several entities being defined based on their resemblance to more common ovarian counterparts (e.g. granulosa cell tumours). In recent years, multiple clinicopathologic and molecular studies have improved our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie pathogenesis and progression in TSCSTs, providing data that can be useful to refine classification and prognostication. In this review, we summarise the major recent advances in TSCSTs, focusing on molecular alterations and biomarkers relevant for diagnosis, classification and prognosis.
