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

This study aimed to investigate the selective effect of the reproductive tract mucus in cows that have consistently produced offspring of a single sex on X/Y spermatozoa. We collected mucus from the reproductive tract of cows that had given calvings to offspring of the same sex, or alternated between sexes, for more than five consecutive calvings. We evaluated the pH of reproductive tract mucus. Subsequently, we conducted a spermatozoa penetration assay; the proportions of X and Y spermatozoa after penetration were then identified by dual TaqMan qPCR and flow cytometry. This was followed by in vitro fertilization and embryo sex determination experiments. Immediately afterwards, computer-aided spermatozoa analysis was employed to analyze the spermatozoa that had penetrated through different types of mucus in the reproductive tract. The analysis indicated that the reproductive tract mucus of cows consistently producing male or female calves exhibited selectivity towards X/Y spermatozoa. The differences in the pH values of the reproductive tract mucus among cows continuously producing male calves, those continuously producing female calves, and those alternately giving birth to male and female calves were not significant (
