Ring chromosome 12 and severe oligospermia: a case report.
Article in Fertility and sterility, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveTo describe an unusual presentation of ring chromosome 12, which manifested as severe azoospermia, resulting in male infertility.
designCase report.
settingIn vitro fertilization center at a tertiary care hospital. PATIENT(S): A 27-year-old man diagnosed with unexplained azoospermia and ring chromosome 12 abnormality during a workup for primary infertility. INTERVENTION(S): In vitro fertilization with preimplantation genetic diagnosis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): To confirm the importance of obtaining karyotypes in individuals with severe oligospermia. RESULT(S): Full-term pregnancy after IVF using donor sperm. CONCLUSION(S): Severe oligospermia and male infertility should be included in the spectrum of findings found in ring chromosome 12.
