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

Sperm need to effectively navigate the intricate pathways of the female reproductive tract, which are filled with various complex fluid flows. Despite numerous population-based studies, the effects of flow on the flagellar beating pattern of individual sperm remain poorly understood. In this study, a microfluidic cross-slot trap is employed to immobilize individual motile sperm for an extended period without physical tethering, thereby reducing potential cell damage and movement restriction compared to the conventional head-tethering method. The impact of pure straining flow on trapped single sperm is investigated. The experimental results demonstrate that at strain rates of 11.33 s
