Metformin Ameliorates Testicular Damage in Male Mice with Streptozotocin-Induced Type 1 Diabetes through the PK2/PKR Pathway.
Article in Oxidative medicine and cellular longevity, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers.
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
Approximately 90% of male diabetes mellitus patients have varying degrees of testicular dysfunction. The molecular mechanism underlying diabetes-induced testicular damage has not been thoroughly elucidated. In this research, we sought to determine the influence of metformin (Met) on diabetes-induced testicular injury and the mechanism involved with a focus on testicular dysfunction, apoptosis, autophagy, and prokineticin 2 (PK2) signalling. In our study, C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the normal control group, the diabetes group, and the Met-treated group. Streptozotocin (50 mg·kg
