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

Objective: Male infertility is a common issue that affects people worldwide and presents challenges in terms of treatment. In recent times, there has been significant interest in the use of herbal remedies as a potential solution for male infertility. In this study, we aimed to assess and compare the effects of clomiphene, carrot seed, and education based on traditional Persian medicine on the sperm parameters in idiopathic male infertility. Materials and Methods: Sixty male patients experiencing infertility were randomly divided into four groups: Clomiphene, Clomiphene + Carrot, Clomiphene + Lifestyle modification, and Clomiphene + Carrot + Lifestyle modification. In the herbal group, patients received four capsules of carrot seeds, for a total of 2 g daily for 90 days. Meanwhile, subjects in the Clomiphene group were administered one tablet of clomiphene, containing 50 mg, per day for a duration of 90 days. Sperm parameters were analyzed at the beginning and end of the study. Results: After the 90-day intervention, the groups that received clomiphene combined with carrot and lifestyle interventions showed significant improvements in various sperm parameters. These improvements were statistically significant compared to the control group. Conclusion: The combination of carrot seeds along with clomiphene and education based on traditional Persian medicine was found to improve sperm parameters in cases of idiopathic male infertility without any adverse effects.
