Local signalling environments and human male infertility: what we can learn from mouse models.
Review in Expert reviews in molecular medicine, 2010. 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
Infertility is one of the most prevalent public health problems facing young adult males in today's society. A clear, treatable cause of infertility cannot be determined in a large number of these patients, and a growing body of evidence suggests that infertility in many of these men may be due to genetic causes. Studies using mouse knockout technology have been integral for examination of normal spermatogenesis and to identify proteins essential for this process, which in turn are candidate genes for human male infertility. Successful spermatogenesis depends on a delicate balance of local signalling factors, and this review focuses on the genes that encode these factors. Normal functioning of all testicular cell types is essential for fertility and might also be crucial to prevent germ cell oncogenesis. Analysis of these signalling processes in spermatogenesis using mouse models has provided investigators with an invaluable tool to effectively translate basic science research to the research of human disease and infertility.
