In silico exploring of the epigenetic factors in teratozoospermia: A focus on
Article in Molecular biology research communications, 2025. 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
Teratozoospermia is an abnormal sperm morphology that is a common cause of male infertility. Epigenetic factors have been implicated in the regulation of gene expression in teratozoospermia, but the specific mechanisms are not fully understood. This study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between teratozoospermia and normozoospermia samples, and to investigate the role of epigenetic regulatory factors in the observed gene expression changes. The study integrated data from three publicly available datasets in the GSE6969 superseries. The DEGs were compared to a list of known human epigenetic-related genes obtained from the EpiFactors database. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and hub gene identifications for Epi-DEGs and the RNA-protein interaction (RPI) network to obtained the RBPs interacting with Epi-DEGs were constructed. siRNA design for the candidate mRNA was performed using various bioinformatics tools. As a result, the obtained 1,292 DEGs were compared to a list of 796 known human epigenetic factors, revealing 63 Epi-DEGs. The PPI network of Epi-DEGs identified top 10 hub genes including
