Use of Genomewide Association Studies to Evaluate Genetic Predisposition to Testicular Germ Cell Tumors.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2021. 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
Genomewide association studies (GWAS) have been widely used in recent years to identify common variants that are associated with multiple types of cancer, including testicular germ cell tumors. These studies require no a priori hypotheses and have advantages, including the ability to highlight new pathways relevant to the biology of common diseases. GWAS require collection of germline DNA from individuals with and without the disease of interest. Following DNA extraction and quantification, a variety of array based platforms are available to evaluate common and moderately rare germline variation throughout the genome in an agnostic fashion. Here, we describe DNA extraction methods from samples typically used in the evaluation of germline genetic variation (blood and saliva). We also describe assays used to assess DNA quality and quantity. Finally, we include methods describing array based genotyping using the Illumina platform and validation of relevant variants using the iPLEX Agena Multiplexed Genotyping (formerly Sequenom).
