Effects of radioactive caesium on bull testes after the Fukushima nuclear plant accident.
Article in Scientific reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
We aimed to investigate the effect of chronic radiation exposure associated with the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant accident on the testis from 2 bulls. Estimated dose of internal exposure in one bull was 0.7-1.2 mGy (¹³⁴Cs) and 0.4-0.6 mGy (¹³⁷Cs) and external exposure was 2.0 mGy (¹³⁴Cs) and 0.8 mGy (¹³⁷Cs) (196 days). Internal dose in the other was 3.2-6.1 mGy (¹³⁴Cs) and 1.8-3.4 mGy (¹³⁷Cs) and external dose was 1.3 mGy (¹³⁴Cs) and 0.6 mGy (¹³⁷Cs) (315 days). Sperm morphology and spermatogenesis were within normal ranges. ¹³⁴,¹³⁷Cs radioactivity was detected but Cs was not detectable in the testis by electron probe microanalysis. Thus, adverse radiation-induced effects were not observed in bull testes following chronic exposure to the above levels of radiation for up to 10 months. Since we could analyse a limited number of testes, further investigation on the effects of ionizing radiation on spermatogenesis should be extended to more animals.
