Impact of HCV infection on male reproductive hormones; a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in International journal of impotence research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Previous research has suggested a correlation between hepatitis C infection and male reproductive hormones. This study systematically reviewed the literature and determined the pooled effect of hepatitis C infection on male reproductive hormones. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched on 1 October 2024. Studies were included if they compared reproductive hormone levels between hepatitis C-positive and hepatitis C-negative men. Excluded were animal studies, reviews, editorials, preprints, and studies lacking hormone data or hepatitis C status differentiation. The effect measures were weighted mean differences. Heterogeneity was measured with I
