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

Spermatogenesis is a series of complex processes to generate mature sperm, and various molecules play crucial roles in regulating these processes. Previous studies imply a possibility that a transcriptional factor Pax6, a key player of brain and sensory organ development, could be involved in spermatogenesis, but neither expression nor function of Pax6 in the adult testis has been examined yet. In the present study, we described for the first time Pax6 expression dynamics in the adult mouse testis. Using cell-type-specific markers, the expression of Pax6 was detected in 67.0% of promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (Plzf)-positive type A spermatogonia. The expression of Pax6 was also observed in p63-positive spermatocytes and round spermatids. We did not detect any expression of Pax6 in Sox9-positive Sertoli cells or in elongated spermatids and mature sperm. High-resolution analyses revealed that Pax6 formed a single dot-like structure during mid-phase of the pachytene spermatocyte. This dot-like structure co-localized with γH2A.X demarcating XY body, a domain in which X and Y chromosomes are silenced and compartmentalized. These results may suggest a novel role of Pax6 in spermatogenesis.
