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

Cryopreservation protocols for semen exist for bird species used in animal production, fancy and hobby species, and wild bird species. Freezing of bird oocytes or embryos is not possible. Cryopreservation of avian semen is used for preserving (genetic diversity of) endangered species or breeds. Freezing semen can also be used in the breeding industry for maintaining breeding lines, as a cost-effective alternative to holding live birds. Success and efficiency of cryopreservation of bird semen differs among species and breeds or selection lines. This chapter describes important variables of methods for collecting, diluting, cold storage, and freezing and thawing of bird semen, notably the medium composition, cryoprotectant used and its concentration, cooling rate, freezing method, and warming method. Media and methods are described for freezing semen using either glycerol or DMA as cryoprotectant, which both are known in chicken and a number of other bird species to render adequate post-thaw fertility rates.
