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

Background: Severe asthenozoospermia is a significant cause of male infertility, commonly associated with genetic defects affecting sperm motility. However, the specific genetic contributors remain underexplored. Objective: This study aimed to identify a genetic variant responsible for severe asthenozoospermia in two siblings and to evaluate the clinical validity of the gene-disease relationship between Methods: Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on two siblings diagnosed with severe asthenozoospermia. Sperm motility and morphology were assessed through standard semen analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The gene-disease validity was evaluated using the ClinGen Gene-Disease Validity SOP, incorporating both genetic and experimental evidence. Results: A novel homozygous nonsense variant in Conclusion: We identified a novel homozygous nonsense variant in
