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

Thawing protocols have been barely studied, and their modifications may lead to a substantial improvement in post-thawing sperm quality, which could be of great relevance to existing sperm banks, such as those for Iberian pig breeds with varieties in danger of extinction. For that, the study aimed to evaluate different thawing rates and to evaluate modifications in the composition of the thawing extender (basic pH to 8-8.2, incorporation of cyclodextrins loaded with cholesterol [CLC] and the incorporation of ion chelators [EDTA and EGTA]). After thawing, overall sperm motility and kinematic parameters, acrosome status and sperm membrane integrity were evaluated. The most optimal results were obtained with the thawing rate reaching 70 °C for 8 s with the inclusion of 12.5 mg of CLC/500 × 10
