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

purposeIdiopathic asthenospermia is the most common type of male infertility. Although the mechanisms causing asthenospermia are complex, recent studies have indicated an important role of cation channel of sperm (CATSPER) gene downregulation or abnormality in the etiology of idiopathic asthenospermia.

methodsIn the present study, 192 patients with idiopathic asthenospermia and 288 healthy controls were enrolled, and a flight mass spectrometry using Sequenom's MassArray biochip system was applied for genotyping 16 CATSPER gene SNPs reported in the human single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) database.

resultsOur results indicated a correlation between CATSPER1 SNPs and idiopathic asthenospermia. In particular, the exonal SNP rs1893316 in CATSPER1 significantly correlated with idiopathic asthenospermia risk and is a potential important factor in determining an individual's genetic susceptibility to idiopathic asthenospermia.

conclusionThese finding will help to further elucidate the role of CATSPER1 in idiopathic asthenospermia pathogenesis.
