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

Application of assisted reproduction techniques are essential for the preservation of endangered species, and ultrasonography has emerged as an interesting tool in this process, allowing noninvasive assessment of reproductive stages and characterization of male gonads. This review provides a compilation on the applications and perspectives of using ultrasonography for investigation of the morphological and functional aspects of the male reproductive tract in wild species. The technique, which has been improved with the use of vascular doppler, allows detailed analysis of blood flow and aids in the selection of individuals for breeding programs. Although there are challenges, such as physiological variations among species and the difficulty for applying ultrasonography to birds and reptiles, advances in imaging technologies, including elastography and doppler, have expanded the possibilities for diagnosis and monitoring reproductive status in various mammals. Ultrasonographic analysis contributes to the assessment of fertility, detection of testicular diseases and the definition of protocols for reproductive management, becoming an important tool in the conservation of wildlife and in the development of more effective assisted reproductive technologies.
