Short-term storage of rat sperm in the presence of various extenders.

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
Sperm preservation protocols differ among animal species because of different sperm characteristics among species. Rat sperm have extreme sensitivity to suboptimal conditions in centrifugation, pipetting and chilling due to their longer tail, the shape and size of the sperm head, and membrane composition. The aim of this study was to determine optimal conditions for short-term storage of rat sperm by evaluating their motility and membrane and acrosomal integrity in response to various extender solutions, temperatures, and durations. Motility of rat sperm was highest when stored at 22 °C; motility was 28% and 14% at 72 h in TL-HEPES and PBS extenders, respectively. The motility and membrane integrity of rat sperm fell significantly within 24 h at 4 and 37 °C. Although cold storage did not have a detrimental effect on acrosomal integrity of sperm, room temperature storage reduced acrosomal integrity after 24 h. LEY extender caused the highest loss in acrosomal integrity at 48 and 72 h. In conclusion, storage at 4 or 37 ° C reduced the motility and membrane integrity of rat sperm even with short incubation periods. Rat sperm stored in TL-HEPES or PBS remained motile for at least 3 d when held at 22 °C.
