Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Ameliorates Sperm Parameters in Apolipoprotein E Knockout Mice Testes by Attenuating Oxidative Stress and Inflammation.

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
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a member of apolipoprotein (apo) family and plays critical role in lipid metabolism. In this study, the relationship between abnormal lipid metabolism caused by ApoE-deficient and male reproduction was investigated. The effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on 7-month-old ApoE-knockout male mice was assessed subsequently. Mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (WT), ApoE (- / -) group (AP-CON), and ApoE (- / -) plus HBO group (AP-HBO), which received HBO treatment. We found that ApoE knockout caused a decrease in male reproductive capacity due to the reduced total sperm motility, progressive motility (PR), and lower blastocyst formation rate. HBO treatment could accelerate serum lipoprotein metabolism including LDL, T-CHO, and TG and semen quality. As a result, fertilization and blastocyst formation of AP-HBO group were higher than that of AP-CON, proving positive therapeutic effect. Mechanism exploration found that HBO treatment ameliorated the testicular microenvironment by attenuating inflammatory factor production and oxidative stress, eventually improved the sperm motility. Collectively, our study provided more evidences of HBO treatment for improving the semen quality of patients with abnormal lipid metabolism caused by ApoE-deficient.
