Well-Differentiated Liposarcoma of the Spermatic Cord Involving Testicular Parenchyma.
Article in Journal of medical cases, 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
Liposarcomas of the spermatic cord are rare malignant soft-tissue tumors, representing a small fraction of adult sarcomas and an even smaller proportion of para-testicular neoplasms. These tumors often present as slow-growing, painless inguinoscrotal masses and may be mistaken for benign conditions such as inguinal hernias or lipomas. We present the case of a man in his mid-60s who presented with a progressively enlarging right hemi-scrotal mass. Imaging revealed a large fat-containing lesion involving both the spermatic cord and testicular parenchyma, suspicious for fat-containing hernia. The patient underwent right radical inguinal orchiectomy with high ligation of the cord. Histopathologic evaluation demonstrated a well-differentiated liposarcoma without lymphovascular or perineural invasion, with negative surgical margins and no evidence of dedifferentiation. The tumor measured approximately 18 cm in total, involving both cord and testicular tissue. The post-operative course was uneventful, and surveillance imaging has shown no recurrence to date. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for malignant etiologies in atypical scrotal masses, the role of radical orchiectomy with wide resection in management, and the necessity for long-term follow-up given the potential for late recurrence even in well-differentiated tumors.
