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

Markers of freezability allow the selection of ejaculates of good freezability. So far, most investigations were conducted in boars, bulls, rams and horses, with high economic interests triggering the efforts. The progress in dogs is comparably slow. A critical evaluation of the methods requires consideration of practicability, with most labs not even possessing a computer assisted sperm analyser (CASA); furthermore, small canine ejaculates mostly do not allow the use of large semen volumes. In dogs, modern markers of freezability no longer assess single membrane constituents or seminal plasma components but comprise tests of cell functionality and adaptability, energy metabolism, cluster analyses of kinetic and morphometric parameters, as well as DNA intactness. Identification of the most efficient combination of tests seems useful. At present, examination by CASA combined with cluster analysis of kinetic subgroups, JC-1 staining and COMET assay or staining with toluidine blue seem most appropriate; however, cell volumetry and other functional tests deserve better attention. A better understanding of spermatozoa energy metabolism might reveal new markers. This review focuses on the requirements and markers of freezability of canine semen, highlighting potential future candidates.
