CD147 as an apoptosis regulator in spermatogenesis: deciphering its association with matrix metalloproteinases' pathway.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
CD147 plays an important role in germ cells migration and survival/apoptosis during the spermatogenesis process. However, to best of our knowledge, there is no report on the exact role of CD147 gene in the regulation of germ cells apoptosis through matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). So, the current study aims to evaluate the role of CD147 gene expression in the regulation of germ cells apoptosis in conjunction with MMPs. Real-Time PCR was applied to investigate the expression of CD147, MMP2, MMP7, and MMP9 genes in the azoospermic patients and fertile males. Receiver-operating characteristic curve was used to interpret gene expression data. According to our results, a significant decrease in the expression of CD147 gene and an increase in MMPs genes expression were observed in infertile patients compared to fertile males. These results proved this fact that the CD147 gene has an important role in the regulation of germ cells apoptosis via a MMPs-dependent pathway.
