Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Predicts 4-Hour Sperm Motility.
Article in Biomedicines, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
The evaluation of conventional and biofunctional sperm parameters is of fundamental importance for assessing male reproductive function. Among these, sperm motility is one of the most important parameters. Indeed, asthenozoospermia is a frequent cause of male infertility. Sperm motility depends on mitochondrial function and the measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) better accounts for the function of this intracellular organelle. On the basis of these premises, the present study assessed whether the MMP predicts sperm motility at 4 h in patients with low or normal MMP. To accomplish this, 31 men were enrolled. Sperm analysis was conducted according to the WHO 2010 criteria. Particular attention was paid to the evaluation of MMP after liquefaction (T0) using JC-1 staining by flow cytometry. Sperm total and progressive motility were measured at T0 and after 4 h from seminal fluid collection (T4). Patients were divided into two groups based on their sperm mitochondrial function at T0.
