Methods of Mammalian In Vitro Sperm Capacitation to Study Sperm Physiology.

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.
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
Sperm capacitation is the final sperm maturation step that occurs in vivo in the female oviduct, triggered in a response to ovulation. Physiologically, to achieve full fertilizing ability, sperm capacitation requires a series of events to occur. This includes ion fluxes, intracellular pH increase, signaling and metabolic pathway activation, membrane reorganization, cholesterol efflux, release of decapacitating factors from the sperm surface, and membrane protein redistribution, to name a few. Fertilizing ability is reflected in hyperactivated motility, enabling capacitated spermatozoa to detach from the oviductal epithelium and migrate to the oviductal infundibulum; zona pellucida binding affinity; and inducibility of acrosomal exocytosis. In vitro capacitation (IVC) can be achieved by incubating spermatozoa in capacitation-supporting media. Here we describe our laboratory protocols for IVC of porcine, bovine, and human spermatozoa.
