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

Background: Defects in sperm size and form, known as teratozoospermia, can adversely impair sperm motility and its ability to fertilize an oocyte. Teratozoospermia has been most often linked with genetic abnormalities with close to 100 genes known. Objective: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the genetic basis of oligoasthenoteratozoospermic infertility in an infertile man. Methods: We performed the whole exome sequencing, followed by Results: Our study identified a homozygous substitution, c.4511A > G, in the Conclusion: Our study identified a homozygous likely pathogenic mutation (c.4511A > G, Asn1504Ser) in the
