Sperm Membrane Stability: In-Depth Analysis from Structural Basis to Functional Regulation.
Review in Veterinary sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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 membrane stability is a key factor in determining sperm viability and fertilization capability, with broad implications ranging from basic reproductive biology to livestock breeding practices. This comprehensive review examines the structural and functional mechanisms underlying sperm membrane integrity, including defensive barrier functions, potentiometric ion channel regulation, and motility modulation that collectively optimize sperm survival, motility, and fertilization potential. Environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations, abnormal pH levels (outside the optimal 7.2-8.2 range), pathological conditions, and hormonal imbalances can compromise membrane stability by inducing oxidative stress and protein denaturation. Key regulatory proteins, notably NPC2 for cholesterol homeostasis, Flotillin proteins for lipid raft organization, and Annexin V for membrane repair mechanisms, demonstrate essential roles in maintaining structural integrity. In livestock reproduction, membrane stability research facilitates the optimization of cryoprotectant formulations and freezing protocols, resulting in 15-25% improvements in post-thaw sperm survival rates and enhanced artificial insemination success. These findings provide valuable insights for advancing assisted reproductive technologies and improving reproductive efficiency in animal husbandry.
