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

During fertilization, spermatozoa contribute genetic and epigenetic factors such as chromatin packaged with protamines and histones; DNA methylome, non-coding RNAs, etc. Human sperm chromatin retains 5-15% nucleosomes which can play a key role in embryonic development. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a condition mainly attributed to defects in embryo and placenta development. Majority of the known RPL factors are of maternal contribution, while  ~50% RPL cases are termed idiopathic (iRPL). In addition to paternal genetic factors, epigenetic factors via sperm could also be responsible for iRPL. Hence, we investigated alterations in retained nucleosome content of iRPL sperm (
