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

aimTo perform a mutation analysis of FK506 binding protein-like (FKBPL) in patients with azoospermia.

methodsDNA samples were isolated from the peripheral blood of 30 azoospermic male patients with normal 46 XY karyotype and 10 healthy controls. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction assays were used to evaluate Y microdeletions, and the patients without deletions were further analyzed. Sanger sequencing was used for mutation analysis.

resultsA heterozygous adenine to guanine substitution was observed at position c.28 (c.28A>G) (one patient), guanine to adenine substitution at c.90 (c.90G>A) (three patients), and a novel insertion mutation of TCTCATAAGTCT at c. 229_240dup (two patients), all in FKBPL exon 2. Furthermore, four different benign variants were observed in the same gene.

conclusionOur study supports the literature on the etiologic effects of changes on autosomal chromosomes and highlights the importance of molecular analysis of all known and unknown genes that could be involved in male sexual development and function.
