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 evaluate proAKAP4concentrations in canine fresh semen and to determine their correlation with sperm motility and fertility parameters. For this purpose, 26 ejaculates from 18 dogs were analyzed. Motility and kinetic parameters of the sperm-rich fractions were assessed by a computer assisted semen analyzer (Hamilton Thorne HT-IVOS II, USA). ProAKAP4 concentrations were measured (containing either the spermatic, urethral, or prostatic fraction) using the Dog 4MID® kit (4BioDx, France). In the spermatic fractions, on average, the proAKAP4 concentration was 17.08 ng/10
