New genetic markers for male fertility.
Article in Asian journal of andrology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Studies in the last years definitively demonstrate the high prevalence of genetic causes of spermatogenic impairment. A large proportion of infertile males does not receive a clear diagnosis and are reported as idiopathic or unexplained, also because standard semen analysis cannot clearly distinguish fertile from infertile populations. Researches aimed at identifying new potential genetic markers of sperm fertilizing ability and male fertility are therefore necessary. Two recent papers addressed these questions and provided interesting results on new possible genetic factors involved in male fertility and as prognostic markers of fertilizing potential of human spermatozoa.
