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

objectivesTo investigate the expression level of testis-specific calcium-binding protein CBP86-IV in normal and asthenozoospermic human sperm.

methodsThe total RNA was extracted from human sperm, and target cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Then the cDNA was used for quantitative PCR analysis and cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a, respectively. The fusion protein was induced and expressed as inclusion body which was used to produce the polyclonal antibody against TSCBP86-IV. The protein expression level of TSCBP86-IV from normal human sperm and idiopathic asthenozoospermic samples was detected by the purified antibody.

resultsThe experimental results showed that the protein expression of TSCBP86-IV was reduced in idiopathic asthenozoospermia and consistent with the transcriptional changing tendency which was detected by quantitative PCR analysis.

conclusionsThe stable and reliable change of TSCBP86-IV may be taken as a new molecular marker for clinical diagnosis of idiopathic asthenozoospermia.
