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

The study of human sperm motility has been a topic of interest for decades due to its crucial role in fertility and reproductive health. While most analyses rely on 2D+t imaging of head trajectories, sperm naturally swim in three dimensions (3D), driven by complex flagellar motion. However, the lack of comprehensive 3D+t datasets has limited progress in this field. To address this, we present 3D-SpermFlagella, the first large-scale 3D+t dataset of human sperm flagellum centerline annotations. This dataset contains 135 tracked and annotated sperm, derived from our previously published multifocal video microscopy dataset 3D-SpermVid. Each flagellar centerline was annotated over time in three dimensions, incubated under non-capacitating (NCC) and capacitating (CC) conditions. The (x,y,z) coordinates are provided in both micrometers and voxels, making 3D-SpermFlagella a valuable resource for studying sperm motility in its full spatial complexity and for the development and benchmarking of AI-based models for tracking and segmentation. In this paper, we describe the segmentation and tracking methods, as well as the conditions and structure of the dataset.
