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

Preserving fertility is important in men under radiation therapy because healthy cells are also affected by radiation. Supplementation with antioxidants is a controversial issue in this process. Designing a biocompatible delivery system containing hydrophobic antioxidants to release control may solve these disagreements. Herein, a bifunctional periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) was designed to load quercetin (Quer) and its application was studied on damaged cells induced by irradiation on the male reproductive system. Quercetin-loaded on PMO significantly improved the length and width of the testis after irradiation compared to the Quer, alone (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Sperm viability was significantly higher in the Quer-loaded on PMO than Quer, alone after irradiation (p < 0.001). Irradiation significantly decreased the sperm count (p = 0.01), however, Quer and Quer-loaded on PMO could not increase them to the normal ranges. Quer alone and loaded on PMO significantly reduced the sperm with abnormal morphology after irradiation (p < 0.001). Quer alone, and loaded on PMO significantly increased daily production of sperm after irradiation (p < 0.001). The number of apoptotic cells significantly increased after irradiation (p < 0.001). After irradiation, Quer loaded on PMO significantly decreased the apoptotic cells compared to the irradiated (p < 0.001) and Quer, alone groups (p < 0.001). The novel synthesized PMO containing Quer reduced the side effects of irradiation on the male reproductive system.
