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

The causes of variation in the success of laparoscopic artificial insemination (AI) in sheep are not well understood. As such, this study incorporated the contributions of multiple male and female factors relevant to the success of AI into a comprehensive prediction model for pregnancy success. Data from Merino ewes (N = 30 254) including age, uterine tone (1; pale/flaccid-5; turgid/pink), intra-abdominal fat (1; little to no fat present-5; high fat), time of insemination and sire used, were recorded during AI. A subset of semen per sire (N = 388) was thawed and assessed for volume, subjective motility, sperm concentration, and morphology. Sperm motility (CASA), viability and acrosome integrity (FITC-PNA/PI), membrane fluidity (M540/Yo-Pro), mitochondrial superoxide production (Mitosox Red/Sytox Green), lipid peroxidation (Bodipy C11), level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (H
