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 an efficient and complex system of continuous cell differentiation. Previous studies investigating the transcriptomes of different cell populations in the testis relied either on sorting cells, cell depletion, or juvenile animals where not all stages of spermatogenesis have been completed. We present single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) data of 2,500 cells from the testes of two 8-week-old C57Bl/6J mice. Our dataset includes all spermatogenic stages from preleptotene to condensing spermatids as well as individual spermatogonia, Sertoli and Leydig cells. The data capture the full continuity of the meiotic and postmeiotic stages of spermatogenesis, and is thus ideally suited for marker discovery, network inference and similar analyses for which temporal ordering of differentiation processes can be exploited. Furthermore, it can serve as a reference for future studies involving single-cell RNA-Seq in mice where spermatogenesis is perturbed.
