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

We describe the first case of a supernumerary inv dup(22)(q11.1) in an infertile male with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. This case supports the opinion that supernumerary inv dup(22)(q11.1) could play a role in male infertility. We suggest that the breakpoint in the region 22q11.1 and/or fourfold dosage of centromeric/pericentromeric sequences of the chromosome 22 may be the cause of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism resulting in impaired spermatogenesis and infertility in our patient.
