Awareness and prevalence of testicular cancer among German firefighters.

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
purposeTo investigate the awareness about their occupational elevated risk for testicular cancer, we conducted a cross-sectional study among German firefighters, as studies indicate that firefighters may be at an elevated risk for developing testicular cancer. One cause may be the exposure to carcinogenic chemicals during occupation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA survey containing 22 questions was distributed to fire stations (including career firefighters and volunteer firefighters) in Germany. Various channels were used to distribute the survey. Statistics were performed using chi-squared test, exact binomial test, or Fisher's exact test. Furthermore, hierarchical clustering was performed.
resultsData for 1324 participants was analyzed. We detected a prevalence of testicular cancer of 3.6% in our cohort. Most participants demonstrate a low awareness for testicular cancer, as only 19% were aware of their elevated risk. 89% would appreciate more information regarding their elevated risk and 90% of the participants would appreciate regular check-ups. Record of service was significantly associated with an elevated risk of testicular cancer in our cohort (factor 2.87).
conclusionThis is the largest study to date examining the awareness and prevalence of testicular cancer among firefighters. Awareness of testicular cancer among participating firefighters is low, but the demand for regular check-ups is high. This highlights the necessity for providing special health education for firefighters.
