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

Fertility preservation is a critical aspect of improving human life quality. Sperm cryopreservation is highly recommended for men at risk of infertility; however, it can have detrimental effects on sperm quality. In this study, we evaluate the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and PRP-derived exosomes on cryopreservation outcomes in men with asthenoteratozoospermia referred to a public infertility center. The semen samples from 75 men with asthenoteratozoospermia (based on WHO 2020 criteria) were randomly divided into five groups: Control (conventional freezing), Exo/before, Exo/After, PRP/Before, and PRP/After. In all intervention groups, PRP or exosomes were added either 1 h before freezing or 1 h after thawing. Sperm parameters and oxidative stress were evaluated in all samples. Sperm incubation with exosomes before freezing significantly improves motility and lowers DNA fragmentation index (DFI) and oxidative stress compared to the control and other groups. Based on the present study, semen incubation with exosomes for 1 h before freezing not only protects sperm against oxidative stress but also enhances some sperm parameters, such as motility, in men with asthenoteratozoospermia.
