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

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a popular form of in vitro fertilization, where single sperm are selected by a clinician and injected into an egg. Whereas clinicians employ general morphology-based guidelines to select the healthiest-looking sperm, it remains unclear to what extent an individual sperm's physical parameters correlate with the quality of internal DNA cargo-a measurement that cannot be obtained without first damaging the sperm. Herein, a single-cell DNA fragmentation index (DFI) assay is demonstrated, which combines the single-cell nature of the acridine orange test with the quantitative aspect of the sperm chromatin structure assay, to create a database of DFI-scored brightfield images. Two regression predictive models, linear and nonlinear regression, are used to quantify the correlations between individual sperm morphological parameters and DFI score (with model test
