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

backgroundMammalian spermatogenesis is a highly complex process of cell proliferation, meiosis, and differentiation. A series of genes are expressed in an orderly and precise manner to ensure spermatogenesis, with chromatin undergoing intricate changes throughout. EP300-interacting inhibitor of differentiation 3 (Eid3) is a testis-enriched gene, but its role in male reproduction remains unclear.

objectiveTo investigate the role of EID3 in male spermatogenesis and explore the potential underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe generated Eid3 knockout mouse model using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. We measured the expression of EID3 in mouse tissues and testicular cell populations by qRT-PCR and western blot. Histological analysis, including hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining, together with computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA), were performed to evaluate the effect of EID3 on spermatogenesis in mice. Light and ultrastructural microscopy were used to evaluate the morphology and structure of the Eid3

resultsEid3 DISCUSSION AND

conclusionsThis study confirms for the first time that EID3 is crucial for meiosis and chromatin condensation during spermatogenesis, and EID3 deficiency leads to a significant decrease in sperm parameters. Given the high expression paradigm of Eid3 in human testis, EID3 likely plays a role in human reproduction. Future research could provide a new target for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of male infertility.
