Seminal plasma metabolomics signatures of normosmic congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
Background: Normosmic congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (nCHH) is a rare disease, whose pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, we conducted untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics to identify seminal plasma signatures of nCHH, and to study the effect of LH and FSH deficiency on semen. Methods: Twenty-five diagnosed patients with nCHH (HH group) and twenty-three healthy participants (HC group) were enrolled. Laboratory parameters, seminal plasma samples and patients' medical data were collected. Untargeted metabolomics and lipidomic profiling were performed using mass spectrometry (MS). Results: The metabolomics profiling are altered among patients with nCHH and healthy controls. There are 160 kinds of differential metabolites and the main different lipid species are TAG, PC, SM and PE. Conclusions: The metabolomics profiles in patients with nCHH changed. We hope that this work provides important insights into the pathophysiology of nCHH.
