Carob extract restores testicular function and sperm quality in cadmium-exposed mice: An experimental study.
Article in International journal of reproductive biomedicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Cadmium (Cd) is a hazardous heavy metal, and its exposure can lead to a range of health issues, including significant adverse effects on reproductive health in animals and humans. Recently, there has been increasing recognition of the antioxidant benefits of Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic potential of CSE in mitigating testicular injury and spermatogenesis impairment induced by Cd. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 40 adult male BALB/c mice (8-12 wk, 30 Results: CSE restored spermatogenesis by improving sperm count, motility, viability, morphology, and chromatin integrity (p Conclusion: Administering CSE could potentially enhance testis function and sperm parameters against chronic Cd exposure-induced reproductive toxicity, likely due to improving testosterone secretion and its antioxidant properties.
