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
Spermatogenesis depends on precise epigenetic and genetic regulation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). However, it remains largely unknown about the roles and mechanisms of small noncoding RNA in regulating the self-renewal and apoptosis of human SSCs. Notably, we have found that Homo sapiens-microRNA (hsa-miR)-1908-3p is expressed at a higher level in human spermatogonia than pachytene spermatocytes. MiR-1908-3p stimulated cell proliferation and DNA synthesis of the human SSC line. Allophycocyanin (APC) Annexin V and propidium iodide staining, determined by flow cytometric analysis and TUNEL assays, showed that miR-1908-3p inhibited early and late apoptosis of the human SSC line. Furthermore, Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) was predicted and verified as the target of miR-1908-3p, and, significantly, KLF2 silencing resulted in the increase of proliferation and DNA synthesis, as well as reduction of apoptosis of the human SSC line. Moreover, KLF2 silencing ameliorated the decrease in the proliferation and DNA synthesis and the enhancement in the apoptosis of the human SSC line caused by miR-1908-3p inhibition. Collectively, these results implicate that miR-1908-3p stimulates the self-renewal and suppresses the apoptosis of human SSCs by targeting KLF2. This study thus provides a novel epigenetic regulatory mechanism underlying the fate determinations of human SSCs, and it offers new endogenous targets for treating male infertility.
