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

purposeChromosome abnormalities in sperm were studied by fluorescence in situ hybridization to determine the frequency and distribution of abnormalities in normal men and the effect of donor age on the frequency of abnormalities. Studies of chemotherapy and infertility patients assessed any increased risk in these populations.

methodsMulticolor fluorescence in situ hybridization was performed on the sperm samples to assess aneuploidy frequencies for chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, X, and Y as well as "sex ratios" and frequencies of diploid sperm.

resultsMost chromosomes yielded disomy estimates of approximately 0.1%, whereas the frequencies for chromosome 21 and the sex chromosomes were significantly elevated. The only chromosome to show a significant paternal age effect was YY disomy. Chemotherapy patients did not have an increased risk of aneuploid sperm 2-13 years after treatment. Infertility patients had an increased risk of disomy for chromosome 1, 13, 21, and XY.

conclusionsMulticolor fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis allows comparison of sperm from various populations of men and has demonstrated that infertile patients have a significant increase in the frequency of aneuploid sperm.
