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
Rosemary Leaves (Rosmarinus officinalis) gained importance as natural antioxidants which strengthen the endogenous antioxidant defenses through die. The present experience was designed to assess the protective effect of ethanolic extract of rosemary leaves on the adrenal gland and testicular toxicity in male rabbits exposed to Cypermethrin. Forty healthy male rabbits were distributed into four groups of 10 animals each; the animals were administered cypermethrin 66.5 mg/kg alone or concurrent with Rosemary extract in both dosages (100 and 200 mg/kg) for 45 days, and the blood samples were taken from all animals for estimation hormones indices, the Anaesthetized animals were euthanized and adrenal gland and testes were separated for histopathological analysis. Results revealed that the exposure to Cypermethrin induced stress and infertility as evidenced by elevation in the level of cortisol concurrently with a lowering in ACTH level. Also, recording elevation in FSH and LH levels and a significant decline in estradiol level related to a reduction in testosterone levels observed noticeable compared to healthy control. While Concurrent exposure to Cypermethrin and Rosemary extract significantly improved hormone criteria compared to rabbits exposed to Cypermethrin alone. Histological lesions in this study include: the adrenal gland appeared thick fibrous capsule surrounding the adrenal tissue, destruction of adrenal cortex and vacuolation of three layers of the cortex, while in testes marked inhibition of spermatogenesis and degeneration of Sertoli cells with few numbers of Leydig cells were shown. These alterations were brought about by cypermethrin toxicity, while the treatment of Rosemary leaves extract with Cypermethrin alleviated the deleterious effect of Cypermethrin on the adrenal gland and testes and also restored spermatogenesis. The results showed that the extract of rosemary leaves possesses anti-infertility and strong antioxidant activities and can be used as a fertility-increasing drug to control sexual hormones also spermatogenesis, preventing toxicity and its pathophysiological consequences.
