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

Surveillance as a management strategy in stage 1 testicular germ cell tumour (GCT) is increasing in popularity due to the recognition of the long-term side effects of treatment. Imaging, in particular computed tomography (CT), plays a central part in the surveillance protocols. There is a tendency towards less frequent use of imaging as supported by recent trials in non-seminomatous GCT but further studies are needed with respect to the assessment of seminoma and to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) instead of abdominal CT.
