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

Aging refers to the irreversible changes in the structure and function of organisms over time. Under the influence of social and economic factors, the apparent effect of aging on female fertility has been widely recognized; however, its effect on male fertility has not received sufficient attention. Spermatogenic stem cells can differentiate and produce gametes continuously for a long time in a man's life, but more significant cumulative effects often occur over time. These age-related effects mainly manifest as increased chromosomal abnormalities and DNA damage, lower levels of sex hormones, impaired testicular function, and reduced spermatozoa count and quality. In the past, more attention has been paid to some of the macroscopic changes associated with aging. In this review, we will focus on the cellular level, discussing the effects of aging on male germ cells and the changes in the spermatogenic microenvironment, which consists mainly of Sertoli and Leydig cells.
