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

objectiveTo investigate the therapeutic mechanism of

methodsSixty male homozygous TX mice were randomized equally into 4 groups and treated with daily gavage of saline (WD model group), penicillamine (0.09 g/kg), or GDBSD (0.2 mL/10 g), or with intraperitoneal injection of U0126 (20 mg/kg) in addition to GDBSD gavage, with 15 male DL mice as control. After 4 weeks of treatment, copper content in testicular tissue of the mice was detected, and histopathology of the testes and epididymis was examined using HE staining and electron microscopy. TUNEL staining was used to identify apoptotic cells in the testes. The protein expressions of Bcl-2, Cytc, caspase-3, ERK, and p-ERK in the testicular tissue were evaluated with Western blotting, and BrdU-positive cells were detected with immunohistochemical labeling. Sperm density, viability, malformation rate and fertility levels of male mice were studied.

resultsTreatment with penicillamine and GDBSD obviously improved pathological changes of the testis, increased sperm density and motility, lowered sperm abnormality rate, fertility levels and increased testicular JOHNSEN score of TK mice, but the therapeutic effect of GDBSD was blocked by U0126. GDBSD treatment significantly lowered Cytc and caspase-3 expressions and increased Bcl-2 expression in the testicular tissue of TX mice (

conclusionGDBSD can improve spermatogenesis and enhance fertility of male TX mice with WD possibly by activating the ERK signaling pathway to enhance proliferation and reduce apoptosis of the spermatogenic cells.
