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

We present a collection of expert-labeled image datasets designed to support automated analysis of human sperm in the context of male fertility diagnostics. The collection includes three datasets: a raw set of over 400 high-resolution, stained bright-field images containing multiple sperm cells; a binary classification set with cropped image patches labeled as either sperm or non-sperm; and a multiclass dataset of individual sperm cells categorized by DNA fragmentation level, based on halo size (large, medium, small, or no halo). All annotations were independently performed by five experienced embryologists, with final labels determined by majority agreement. Together, these datasets provide a foundation for training and benchmarking machine learning models for sperm detection, classification, and chromatin integrity assessment. The data are openly available to facilitate reproducibility and support further research in reproductive health.
