Intraflagellar Transport (IFT) and Sperm Formation.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is a conserved mechanism for cilia formation. Twenty-two IFT components form the IFT-A complex (six components) and IFT-B complex (sixteen components). Driven by kinesin and dynein motor proteins, these IFT complexes are involved in the trafficking of proteins needed for cilia assembly by anterograde transport and retrograde transport. IFT core components also associate with other proteins for cilia formation. Mutations in IFT core components result in ciliogenesis defects and human diseases, including male infertility. Sperm flagella are specialized motile cilia that not only have core axoneme structure but also possess accessory structures. IFT is required to assemble these structures to form functional sperm. This summary highlights the regulatory roles of specific IFT proteins in spermatogenesis. A deeper understanding of IFT-related mechanisms can shed light on the etiology and pathophysiology of certain male infertility cases, as well as provide insights for the development of novel male contraceptives.
