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

Cell function is importantly regulated by the intracellular concentration of Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]i). Sperm development and function are deeply influenced by [Ca(2+)]i which is modulated amongst other ion transporters by plasma membrane Ca(2+) permeable channels. The presence and role of voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (CaV) of the T-type (CaV3) in sperm physiology have become a matter of debate in recent years. Though they are functionally present in later stages of development in spermatogenic cells and testicular sperm and their mRNAs and proteins detected from spermatogenic cells to mature mammalian spermatozoa, their currents have not been recorded in mature spermatozoa. This review critically summarizes the evidence for the involvement of CaV3 channels in sperm development and function.
