Epigenetics Role in Spermatozoa Function: Implications in Health and Evolution-An Overview.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The unique properties of spermatozoa are established through the spermatogenesis and maturation processes concurrently with its epigenome. It is known that damage to epigenetic mechanisms can lead to reproductive problems. However, scientific reviews addressing the role of the spermatozoa epigenome during the reproductive process are scarce. Therefore, the aim of this review was to offer a detailed overview of current knowledge in the field of spermatozoa epigenetics and its consequent implications. A full search was performed through three databases by combining five keywords. Inclusion criteria were implemented to grant accessibility, relevance, and concretion. Besides, some articles were manually removed or added to obtain an adequate and complete collection of 485 scientific publications. This compilation was used to conduct the bibliometric analysis and the data review separately. Bibliometric results displayed that spermatozoa epigenetics is an active and growing research area. The bibliographic overview showed that sperm epigenome correlates with the development of its function, explaining the environmental influence on reproductive pathologies or abnormal inheritance. The main conclusions were that the normal performance of sperm is heavily reliant on its epigenetics and that this study area is burgeoning, with the potential ability to provide society with clinical innovations in a short-term period.
