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

objectiveSperm-specific phospholipase C-zeta (PLCζ) is a sperm-derived oocyte activating factor, which can induce Ca2+ oscillation and initiate oocyte activation. The mutation of this gene will affect oocyte activation and lead to fertilization failure(FF). In this paper, we report a fertilization disorder caused by a PLCZ1 gene mutation. The patient's peripheral blood was collected for whole exon detection. The results showed that the patient had heterozygous mutations in PLCZ1 gene c.1733 C > T (p.M578L) and c.471 G > C (p.M157I), and the male's brother also carried heterozygous mutations in the gene. Finally, the patient obtained clinical pregnancy by in vitro fertilization with donor sperm. At the same time, the related literature on PLCZ1 gene mutation at home and abroad was reviewed and analyzed to improve the clinicians' understanding of the PLCZ1 gene and fertilization disorders.
