The low frequency of Y chromosome microdeletions in subfertile males in a Sinhalese population of Sri Lanka.
Article in Indian journal of human genetics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimsThis study was designed to determine the prevalence of azoospermia factor (AZF) microdeletions on the Y chromosome in Sri Lankan Sinhalese infertile men with azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia. SETTINGS AND
designThe patient group was 207 karyotypically normal infertile Sinhalese males. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe presence of 13 sequence-tagged site (STS) markers in the AZF region was tested using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR). One hundred and twenty unselected men were also studied as a control group.
resultsThree (1.5%) had classic Y chromosome microdeletions in the AZFc sub-region.
conclusionsThese results suggest a much lower Y chromosome microdeletion frequency than previously thought, even among a strictly selected group of sub-fertile males in Sri Lanka.
