Impact of Tobacco Cigarette Smoking on Semen Quality and Serum Levels of Sex Hormones in Men: A Cross-Sectional Population-Based Study.

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
Background and Aims: The detrimental effect of tobacco cigarette smoking on human health has been reported in previous studies. The aim of the current study is to assess the effect of tobacco cigarette smoking on sperm quality and serum levels of sex hormones in men from the Jordanian population. Method: In this study, 145 smoker men and 136 nonsmoker men were recruited. Semen analysis including ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, sperm total mobility and sperm morphology, was performed for comparison between cigarette smokers and non-cigarette smokers. Serum concentrations of total testosterone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone were also assessed in all subjects. Results: Results from this study showed a significant statistical reduction in ejaculate volume (2.14 ± 0.03 mL vs. 2.65 ± 0.02 mL, Conclusion: Tobacco cigarette smoking showed an obvious reduction in ejaculate volume and sperm quality as well as altered levels of serum sex hormones in Jordanian men.
