Immunohistochemical and morphometric analysis of adult goose testes with special focus on sertoli cell localization.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. 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
Background: Geese breeding holds economic importance, but their reproductive efficiency lags behind other poultry species, due to male fertility challenges including variation in semen quality, genetics, environmental, and management factors. Aim: The current study presents a comprehensive histological and histomorphometric analysis of adult geese testes, employing two anti-vimentin immunostaining markers to localize Sertoli cells and quantify their spatial distribution. Methods: Seven adult male geese ( Results: Testes were paired and bean-shaped, with the left testis being significantly larger, heavier, and situated more cranially than the right. Microscopic analysis revealed that the tunica albuginea was thicker in the left testis. The seminiferous tubules were densely packed, with a wider diameter and higher mitotic activity in the left testis compared to the right. Sertoli cells were more abundant in peripheral tubules compared with central tubules. Immunohistochemical analysis showed positive expression with rabbit polyclonal anti-vimentin antibody, with stronger staining in the left testis and higher cellular index, whereas the mouse monoclonal antibody exhibited no reactivity. Conclusion: Geese testes share some morphological and microscopic features with those of other avian species, and differ from mammal testes. These observations offer data for understanding reproductive physiology in geese, applications in the diagnosis of fertility-related diseases, and enhancing poultry farm management.
