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

Numerous factors, including genetic, environmental, and nutritional, are involved in testicular development and spermatogenesis. However, little is known about the effects of seasonal factors on pre-sexual maturity testicular development in Hu rams, which are famous for their high fertility and year-round estrus onset. This study explored the effect of the birth season on testicular development and spermatogenesis in Hu sheep. Thirty-six 6-month-old male lambs born in summer (n = 18) and winter (n = 18) were selected for analysis. Results showed that summer-born lambs exhibited significantly higher cauda sperm density (102.65 ± 9.56 vs. 16.86 ± 2.02 × 10
