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.
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
Purpose: The selection of high-quality spermatozoa affects embryo quality and, consequently, the success rates of clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a cumulus cell-based sperm selection method for identifying high-quality spermatozoa and to determine whether this process enhances ICSI clinical outcomes. Methods: A total of 88 ICSI cycles were analyzed, generating 640 embryos, 331 in the control group and 309 in the study group. Standard density gradient centrifugation was applied in the control group, while the study group underwent an additional selection step using cumulus cell columns (CCC) in microcapillary pipettes. Embryo development was monitored through time-lapse imaging up to the blastocyst stage, and clinical outcomes were also recorded. Results: Results demonstrated a significant reduction in sperm DNA fragmentation following CCC selection (37.08% vs. 23.36%, Conclusions: The Use of cumulus cell-based sperm selection improves embryo quality and reproductive outcomes.
