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

Background: The specific and non-specific toxicities of cryoprotective agents (CPAs) for semen or spermatozoa cryopreservation/vitrification (SC/SV) remain challenges to the success of assisted reproductive technologies. Objective: We searched for and integrated the physicochemical and toxicological characteristics of small-molecule CPAs as well as curated the information of all extenders reported for carnivores to provide a foundation for new research avenues and computational cryobiology. Methods: The PubMed database was systematically searched for CPAs reported in SC/SV of carnivores from 1964 to 2024. The physicochemical features, ADMET parameters, toxicity classes, optimized structures, biological activities, thermodynamic equilibrium constants, and kinetic parameters were curated and assessed computationally. Results: Sixty-two relevant papers pertaining to CPAs used in SC/SV were found, and 11 CPAs were selected. Among the properties of CPAs, the molecular weight range (59-758 g/mol), melting point (-60°C to 236°C), XlogP3 (-4.5 to 12.9), topological polar surface area (TPSA; 20-160 Å Conclusion: ADMET information of the CPAs and extenders in the bipartite compartments of seminal plasma and intracellular spaces of spermatozoa are very important for systematic definition and integration because the nature of the extenders and seminal plasma could alter the physiology of cryopreserved spermatozoa.
