[Multicenter surgical studies recruiting in Germany. A new regular heading in the German surgical journal "Der Chirurg"].
Article in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundInformation about multicenter randomized controlled trials (mRCT) comparing surgical procedures that are open for patient recruitment is hardly available for potentially interested surgeons. On the other hand many mRCT fail because of poor recruitment of participating surgeons, not just of patients. MATERIAL AND
methodThe available items in the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) of the World Health Organisation were analyzed for their relevance to surgeons, and a basic data set was extracted by two surgeons in a consensus procedure.
resultsOf 20 items in the ICTRP, seven were identified as relevant to the surgeon in practice: study acronym with register number, principal investigator, patients, surgical procedures, status of the study (randomized patients and sample size), financing and case money, and contact information. DISCUSSION: In a new column introduced into the German surgical journal"Der Chirurg", a regularly updated list of recruiting mRCT will be printed. The trials must be registered internationally and provide basic information for interested surgeons.
conclusionThrough this new heading, improvements are expected in communication between surgeons performing trial studies, patient recruitment, and in planning, conducting, and analyzing mRCT.
