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: Infertility significantly impacts numerous couples worldwide, and male infertility is a common contributing factor. Y chromosome microdeletions are potential genetic causes of male infertility. However, due to the lack of comparative studies based on semen analysis results, we have difficulty selecting an appropriate method for detecting Y chromosome microdeletions. This study aims to compare the application of high-throughput sequencing and fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in different types of infertility patients. Methods: This study used high-throughput sequencing [next-generation sequencing (NGS)] and fluorescence qPCR methods to detect Y chromosome microdeletions in two groups: one with azoospermia and another with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), characterized by reduced sperm count and motility. Results: The results showed that NGS identified cases of Klinefelter syndrome (congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens) that were not detected by qPCR in the azoospermia group. In the OAT group, high-throughput sequencing found a b2/b3 deletion of 1.80 Mb, while qPCR did not detect it. Conversely, qPCR identified an AZFd deletion in the OAT group, missed by high-throughput sequencing due to inadequate target region coverage. Conclusions: These research findings are significant for guiding personalized treatment of male infertility patients and provide valuable references for further exploration of the association between Y chromosome microdeletions and male infertility.
