The Supplementation of Cinnamaldehyde in Semen Extender to Improve the Post-Thaw Sperm Quality of Kajli Ram Semen.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cinnamaldehyde, a component of cinnamon bark extract, acts as a potential antioxidant by enhancing the activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in various cell and animal models. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of cinnamaldehyde on the quality of Kajli ram sperm at 4°C and after freezing. Semen samples were obtained from 12 Kajli rams through an artificial vagina maintained at 42°C. Each ejaculate was divided into five aliquots and extended in a tris-citric acid extender with different concentrations of cinnamaldehyde (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.5% and 5.0%). Post-thaw semen quality was assessed. These results showed that the extender containing 0.5% cinnamaldehyde exhibited significant protective effects (p < 0.05) on post-thaw sperm plasma membrane and sperm viability compared to the control and other experimental groups. In conclusion, supplementing the extender with 0.5% cinnamaldehyde effectively preserved the quality of post-thawed sperm from Kajli rams.
