Addition of Mitoquinone (MitoQ) to Fresh Human Sperm Enhances Sperm Motility without Attenuating Viability.
Article in Biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The preparation of human sperm in an andrology laboratory subjects it to oxidative stress. Reactive oxygen species are produced by mitochondria, making it susceptible to oxidative damage; hence, mitochondria-targeted antioxidants like Mitoquinone (MitoQ) might have therapeutic potential for oxidative-damage-associated disorders. The current research aims to establish whether MitoQ has any positive effects during in vitro preparation of fresh human sperm. Viability and motility are evaluated to determine the effective MitoQ concentration and to assess whether MitoQ supplementation is affected by sperm concentration by incubating normospermia semen samples at 37 °C for 2 h and 4 h, respectively. The effect of semen centrifugation following supplementation of 20 × 10
