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

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been demonstrated to have the potential for enhancing sperm function by means of photobiomodulation. Therapeutic dosing parameters to maximize the effect, though, remain undefined. To simulate dose-dependent effects of 660 nm laser irradiation on human sperm motility and acrosome integrity using MATLAB-based modeling. A simulation was established on the computer to assess reactions of sperm over a fluence range of 0.15-2.4 J/cm², which was produced from varying power densities (5-20 mW/cm²) and durations (30-120 s). Logistic and Gaussian functions with biologically natural noise were used in modeling motility and acrosome integrity in order to mimic experimental variation. Motility increased in sigmoidal manner, peaking at around 1.2 J/cm², while acrosome integrity peaked at around 0.6 J/cm² in the form of a bell curve. Optimal fluence range (0.6-0.9 J/cm²) balanced both improving motility and maintaining acrosomes intact. 660 nm laser stimulation of sperm motility and acrosome integrity is enhanced within a narrow fluence window. This in silico process offers a predictive, reproducible method for the determination of optimal PBM parameters in reproductive application.
