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

The head of sperm was imaged with domestic digital holographic microscopy (DHM), and then the quantitative three-dimensional size information of normal sperm and teratozoospermic sperm was compared and analyzed. DHM sperm imaging and repeated quantitative evaluation were used to determine the morphology of the sperm head in two patients with teratozoospermia and four volunteers with normal semen parameters. Sixty and 139 sperm of teratozoospermia patients and normal people were photographed by digital hologram, respectively. The differences in head height and width were compared and statistically analyzed. The sperm head height of the teratozoospermia group was 3.06 ± 1.66 μm, which was significantly lower than that of the normal sperm group (4.54 ± 1.60 μm,
