The Report on the Effect of White and Black Truffle Extracts on Rat Semen Parameters
Article in Journal of human reproductive sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Truffle extracts possess the unique properties that make them potentially valuable for medicinal purposes. The use of truffles in reproductive medicine may be of particular interest for developing medications with both spermatozoa-activating and contraceptive effects. Aim: Our experiment evaluated the influence of extracts of white and black truffle mushrooms on rat spermatozoa. Settings and Design: Animal model. Materials and Methods: The study utilized 28 samples of wild truffle fruiting bodies. In the experiment, we used ejaculate from male Wistar rats ( Statistical Analysis Used: The methods should be adequately detailed or referenced to other work. The statistical processing was performed in the Past software (V4.03) using the ANOVA analysis of variance with the Mann-Whitney test. Differences between the mean values of the parameters were considered statistically significant at Results: Research has shown that extracts from black and white truffles related to Tuber sp. have a stimulating effect on spermatozoa. Curvilinear velocity and beat cross-frequency also increased by 48% and 50%, respectively. Linearity showed a significant increase by 56% and straightness by 48%. This could be useful in the development of drugs to enhance sperm activity and lifespan. In addition, extracts from black truffles have been found to have a negative impact on spermatozoa, which could be relevant for developing new contraceptive drugs. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated the influence of methanol extracts of Tuber sp. mushrooms on male gametes of rats
