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

backgroundSkp1-Cullin-F-box (SCF) E3 ligase complex plays an important role in regulating spermatogenesis and fertility in mice. As a member of F-box proteins, the function of F-box and WD-40 domain protein 17 (Fbxw17) during spermatogenesis and fertility is unclear. In this study, we illustrate its function for spermatogenesis and fertility. METHODS AND

resultsHere, we generated the Fbxw17 knockout (KO) mouse model by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and analyzed the meiotic process and the fertility. Then, our results demonstrated that testis and sperm in the Fbxw17 KO mice had normal morphology. The testis weight, sperm count and fertility of Fbxw17 KO mice showed no significant difference compared with the wild-type mice. Subsequently, histological analysis of Fbxw17 KO mice revealed apparently normal germ cells of all stages and mature spermatozoa. Meanwhile, nuclear spread analysis showed that the synaptonemal complex formation and DSB repair proceeded normally in Fbxw17-deficient spermatocytes. Furthermore, we didn't find defects in the meiotic prophase I spermatocytes and germ cells showed no apparent apoptosis in Fbxw17 KO mice.

conclusionsOur results show that Fbxw17 is dispensable for fertility in mice.
