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 and aim: Experimental procedure: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were allocated into six groups: i) normotensive rats, ii) rats treated with l-NAME (40 mg/kg), iii-vi) rats treated with l-NAME + either 10, 100, 300 mg/kg LSE or 5 mg/kg captopril for 5 weeks. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), sperm concentrations, viability and motility and the serum testosterone were measured. The morphology, malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were evaluated in testis and epididymis. Results and conclusion: l-NAME-treated rats exhibited high SBP (181.9 ± 6.5 mmHg,
