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

Paediatric surgeons are expected to counsel patients about the potential risk of cancer post-orchidopexy and the need to self-examine in adulthood. The study objectives were to examine if such advice is being given and identify the stage of cancer at presentation in adult patients with history of orchidopexy. This was a 5-year observational, retrospective collaborative study between a tertiary paediatric surgical unit and its regional adult testicular cancer service, examining the nature of counselling given by paediatric surgeons to orchidopexy patients and their carers and estimating the local incidence of testicular cancer in adults with previous orchidopexy during the same period. Orchidopexy was performed in 228 patients with a mean follow-up of 11.9 months. Twenty-two patients had documented advice to self-examine from puberty onwards. The advice was not influenced whether the surgery was staged or single (
