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

This study was designed to optimize the semen freezing protocol of the native Mediterranean brown trout inhabiting the Molise rivers through two experiments: an in vitro analysis of the effects of two basic extenders combined with three cryoprotectants on post-thaw semen quality; and an in vivo test to assess the fertilization and hatching rate. Semen was diluted at a ratio of 1:3 in a freezing medium composed of a glucose extender (A) or mineral extender (B). Each basic component contained 10% dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylacetamide or methanol. The post-semen quality was evaluated considering motility, duration of motility, viability and DNA integrity. The basic extender and cryoprotectant were shown to have significant effects on these variables, and the best results were obtained using extender A or B combined with dimethylsulfoxide (P < 0.05). These freezing protocols were selected for fertilization trials in vivo. Fertilization and hatching rates were significantly higher in fresh semen. No significant differences were observed in frozen semen using extender A or B, although higher percentages of eyed eggs and hatching rates were recorded using extender A. According to our in vitro and in vivo results, the glucose-based extender and dimethylsulfoxide emerged as the best combination for an effective cryopreservation protocol for semen of this trout.
