Constitutive Androstane Receptor Regulates Germ Cell Homeostasis, Sperm Quality, and Male Fertility via Akt-Foxo1 Pathway.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Male sexual function can be disrupted by exposure to exogenous compounds that cause testicular physiological alterations. The constitutive androstane receptor (Car) is a receptor for both endobiotics and xenobiotics involved in detoxification. However, its role in male fertility, particularly in regard to the reprotoxic effects of environmental pollutants, remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the role of the Car signaling pathway in male fertility. In vivo, in vitro, and pharmacological approaches are utilized in wild-type and Car-deficient mouse models. The results indicate that Car inhibition impaired male fertility due to altered sperm quality, specifically histone retention, which is correlated with an increased percentage of dying offspring in utero. The data highlighted interactions among Car, Akt, Foxo1, and histone acetylation. This study demonstrates that Car is crucial in germ cell homeostasis and male fertility. Further research on the Car signaling pathway is necessary to reveal unidentified causes of altered fertility and understand the harmful impact of environmental molecules on male fertility and offspring health.
