The Use of κ-Carrageenan in Egg Yolk Free Extender Improves the Efficiency of Canine Semen Cryopreservation.

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
κ-Carrageenan is a plant polysaccharide derived from red seaweeds reported to possess potential medicinal and antioxidants activities. The present study aimed to identify the cryoprotective effects of κ-carrageenan on the quality of frozen-thawed canine semen. Twenty-eight ejaculates were collected and diluted in a Tris egg-yolk-free extender supplemented with various concentrations of κ-carrageenan (0.0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, and 0.5%). The addition of κ-carrageenan to the extender at a 0.2% concentration induced a significant increase in the total motility (TM) and the rapid progressive motility (RPM) of canine sperm. Among the experimental groups, the highest percentage of sperms with intact acrosomes was found in the 0.5% κ-carrageenan group (
