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

Purpose: TRANSLIN (TSN) and its binding partner TSNAX have been reported to contribute to a wide spectrum of biological activities including spermatogenesis. TSN accompanies specific mRNA transport in male germ cells through intercellular bridges. A testis-expressed protein TSNAXIP1 was reported to interact with TSNAX. However the role of TSNAXIP1 in spermatogenesis remained unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the role of TSNAXIP1 in spermatogenesis and male fertility in mice. Methods: TSNAXIP1 knockout (KO) mice were generated using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. The fertility, spermatogenesis, and sperm of TSNAXIP1 KO males were analyzed. Results: TSNAXIP1, and especially its domains, are highly conserved between mouse and human. Conclusion: A testis-expressed gene TSNAXIP1 has important roles in sperm head morphogenesis and male fertility. Moreover, TSNAXIP1 could be a causative gene for human infertility.
