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
introductionTesticular and para-testicular neoplasm are rare type of tumours affecting adolescents and young adults, reflected by the paucity of published data in India.
aimThis study was undertaken to estimate the epidemiological characteristics and histological types and subtypes of testicular neoplasm according to the WHO classification in our patient group. Identification of histopathological pattern of testicular tumour is immensely important for improved management protocols. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a retrospective study done over a period of ten years from 2004 to 2014 in a tertiary care centre. All relevant clinical data including patient's age, laterality, history of risk factors and serum tumour markers were collected from records. Histopathological slides were retrieved and reviewed for tumour and its subtype and classified according to WHO classification (2004).
resultsA total of 37 cases of testicular and paratesticular neoplasm were encountered in our study with a mean age of 38.1 years. Right testis was affected in 70.3% of cases. The most common clinical presentation was scrotal swelling with heaviness. Germ cell tumour was the most common type accounting for 77.1% followed by lymphomas (17.1%). Germ cell tumours were categorized into seminomatous (48.2%) and non-seminomatous tumours (51.8%). The most common subtype of non-seminomatous tumours was mixed germ cell tumour accounting for 85.8%.
conclusionThe incidence of testicular neoplasm among general population in Asian countries is low, as reflected in the very few studies that have been performed and published in literature. Epidemiological and histomorphological spectrum of our study was comparable to most of the countries except for some African and Western countries.
