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

The decline in male sperm quality significantly contributes to infertility among couples of reproductive age, threatening human reproductive health. Environmental pollutants are one of the key contributors, driving research into their mechanisms and potential solutions. Although animal and cell models are commonly used to study reproductive toxicity, they have their limitations. Testicular organoids are new in vitro models that can replicate the structure and function of testes, providing a promising platform for toxicity assessments. Despite advancements, challenges persist in standardization, development techniques, and practical applications. This article systematically reviews how factors such as cell densities, 3D culture platforms, and preservation conditions influence the construction of testicular organoids. We summarize and discuss the optimal methods and conditions for constructing testicular organoids. It also reviews their applications in evaluating the toxic effects of environmental endocrine disruptors and screening drugs for reproductive toxicity. This review offers references and insights that support the development of testicular organoid technology and its potential applications in toxicology.
