Examining changes on testicular structure and sperm analysis of COVID-19 patients.
Article in Andrologia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
This study aimed to examine the testicular functions with sperm analysis of patients with COVID-19. The study was carried out with male patients aged between 18 and 50 years with positive RT-PCR test and SARS-CoV-2 virus between December 2020 and April 2021. A total of 103 participants were included in the study. The mean age was 31.24 ± 5.67 (19-45) years and the mean body mass index of the participants was 28.41 ± 4.68 kg/m
