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

Introduction: Bacterial contamination of ejaculates during semen collection is practically inevitable, and antibiotics are a constituent of semen extenders. However, bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a serious problem. The present study investigated the effect of preparing semen by centrifugation using a low-density colloid during the preparation of semen doses under field conditions, as an alternative to the use of antibiotics. Methods: Five ejaculates from four boars were each divided into two aliquots: control semen doses, which were extended with a commercial Beltsville Thawing Solution (BTS) containing antibiotics (30 × 10 Results: No differences ( Conclusion: In conclusion, artificial insemination (AI) with boar semen doses processed using Porcicoll, meeting modern requirements for alternatives to antibiotics, could be a promising state-of-the-art approach.
