Evaluation of Sperm DNA Fragmentation Using Halosperm Technique after the Freezing-Thawing Process in Men: A Study on the Validation of the SCD Protocol.
Article in Journal of reproduction & infertility. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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: DNA fragmentation index (DFI) enhances routine semen analysis by providing valuable insights into male reproductive potential. Utilizing Halosperm test, a sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) assay based on induced condensation. The purpose of this study was to assess sperm DNA damage both before and after freezing. By following the specified kit instructions, an attempt was made to validate the SCD test protocol, with a particular emphasis on the implications of sperm freezing on its DNA integrity. Methods: In total, 380 fresh human semen samples from normozoospermic patients were frozen at -20° Results: There was a significant decrease in sperm normal morphology after thawing (9.31±2.42% Conclusion: Cryoconservation of semen samples at -20°
