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

backgroundPulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) therapy may restore function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis and induce spermatogenesis in male patients with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH). The study sought to test the reliability of a newly developed Innopump

methodsFrom November 2017 to November 2018, 28 male patients with CHH were treated with pulsatile GnRH at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, and Shandong Provincial Hospital. A prospective, self-controlled, 7-day clinical trial was conducted. The primary outcome measures were the efficacy and safety of pulsatile GnRH therapy (which was administered via the Innopump

resultsAll of the patients participated the clinical study. For 7 days, a dosage prescribed by doctors was accurately administered by the Innopump

conclusionsThe Innopump
