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

purpose of reviewFertility in adult life can be severely impaired by gonadotoxic therapies and with remarkable advancements in the treatment of childhood cancers there is a growing population of adult survivors of childhood malignancies. The aim of the study is to review the developments that have been made in spermatogonial stem cell research and potential future utility in fertility preservation. RECENT

findingsWhereas intense interest and subsequent research surrounds the regenerative potential of spermatogonial stem cells, a recent article highlights the in-vitro propagation of human spermatogonial stem cells from testicular biopsies for future transplantation and restoration of fertility. Whereas in-vitro propagation of spermatogonial stem cells has been established in animal models this is the first study in humans. SUMMARY: Spermatogonial stem cell transplantation began as a theoretical approach that currently is studied ardently by several research groups to make this a valid clinical option. Restoration of fertility following spermatogonial stem cell transplantation in animals suggests therapeutic potential for the technique in humans, and further research is proceeding to address the safety and efficacy of this technique.
