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

Background: Therapeutic strategies with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or its receptor have been investigated, but there are few studies regarding the possible harmful effects of CGRP in other body organs. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of CGRP on sex hormones and sperm quality in rats. Methods: Twelve male rats were divided into two groups ( Results: The levels of testosterone, LH and FSH in CGRP group was significantly lower than in artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) group ( Conclusion: ICV injection of CGRP may reduce sperm quality, probably through induction of an imbalance in FSH and LH production as well as testosterone.
