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

Plasma membrane lipids are the key factor in the ability of chicken sperm to be frozen. They ensure fluidity and flexibility of the sperm membrane for effective viability and motility during in vitro storage. The objective of this study was to compare the lipid profiles of different native and commercial chicken breeds: native Thai (Pradu Hang Dam) roosters and commercial (Rhode Island Red) roosters, with respect to their frozen sperm quality. In addition, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes superoxidase dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were also examined. Semen was collected from 12 roosters of each breed. For fresh semen, parameters assessed include semen volume, pH, sperm concentration, sperm motility, and viability, while for frozen semen, the parameters assessed were sperm motility and viability. Moreover, other parameters assessed included malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, activities of SOD and CAT, and fatty acid profile. We found that sperm viability and motility of frozen semen were higher in the commercial breed than in the native breed (P < 0.05). The commercial chicken breed had higher MDA concentration than the native breed (P < 0.05), but antioxidant enzymes remained unchanged in both. Levels of arachidonic acid (AA; C20:4n-6) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6n-3) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the commercial than in the native breed; however, n-6 to n-3 ratios were not different. In conclusion, our study found that lipid profiles have an influence on frozen sperm viability and motility between the breeds. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly AA and DHA, are beneficial to sperm quality.
