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

Background: Over the last decade, there has been a significant increase in average paternal age. Objective: The present study investigated the effects of male age on sperm parameters, DNA fragmentation, andprotamine1 ( Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 106 semen samples from normozoospermic men were obtained. The objects were divided into 3 age groups: 20-25, 30-35, and 40-45 yr. Sperm parameters and DNA fragmentation were assessed, and transcript levels of Results: The highest levels of sperm concentration, motility, and normal morphology were observed in men aged between 20 and 25 yr. Significant declines were seen in sperm total motility (p = 0.006) and normal morphology (p = 0.015) after 40 yr compared to younger men. Significantly (p Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate age-related changes in sperm
