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
About 15% of men and women in their reproductive years remain childless; in 50% of cases the reasons can be found in the male partner. It is important to define as exactly as possible the reasons for infertility to select those men who can be treated by a causal treatment option and to find the optimum treatment strategy. While FSH is the key hormone for intact spermatogenesis, testosterone as an important modifier of quantitative normal sperm production may sometimes be underestimated. Exogenous substitution with testosterone will suppress spermatogenesis and is thus not indicated in hypogonadal males with hypogonadism and infertility at the same time. In males with normal to elevated gonadotrophins and symptomatic testosterone deficiency, treatment is difficult and evidence-based recommendations are missing. The situation in males presenting with secondary hypogonadotropic hypogonadism exhibiting one of the clearly defined and treatable reasons of male infertility is totally different. To stimulate the gonadal function in secondary hypogonadal patients wishing to father a child, pulsatile GnRH or subcutaneous gonadotrophin treatment are used. They stimulate both testosterone production and spermatogenesis. After the end of successful fertility treatment, substitution is continued by exogenous testosterone treatment with oral, transdermal or intramuscular physiological preparations.
