The influence of SARS-CoV-2 on semen parameters of infected infertile male in comparison with those that noninfected.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundCoronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS COV-2 that has spread globally, the virus can cause different pathological alterations in many organs, such as the lung, kidney, and testis. The study aimed to determine the effect of COVID-19 on the seminal fluid parameters of infected infertile males compared with those who are noninfected.
methodsThe study was performed in Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital during the period from September to November, 2021 and it involved 318 patients. The patients' info included age, address, and vaccination. The sperm count, activity, and morphology were detected using Computer-assisted semen analysis CASA (Microptic-Spain) according to the WHO manual.
resultsThere were high significant differences between the infertile males who were infected with COVID- 19 and those who were vaccinated (X
conclusionThe severity of COVID-19 has a significant impact on infertility and sperm parameters, particularly progression and sperm morphology, despite the fact that these parameters are unrelated to vaccination.
