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

Background: The use of synthetic hormones for induced breeding of fish has been a long-standing trend. Studies have demonstrated that exogenous administration of synthetic androgens are effective to improve milt quality of male fish. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact Testosterone propionate (TP), a synthetic androgen, on the quality of milt and the preservation (short duration) of Gilthead Seabream semen at 4 oC in oxygen and Fish Ringer's medium. Materials and Methods: Sexually matured male fishes were given intra muscular injection of Testosterone propionate (TP) at a dose of 1.0 mL. Kg Results: Significant change in colour or pH of the milt was not observed. Milt's consistency changed from being thick to waterier. The hormone injected fish group had an increased level of milt volume and sperm density than the control. Milt stored at 4 oC in oxygen atmosphere showed higher sperm cell quality than that stored in Fish Ringer's medium. Conclusion: The results of this study can be used as a guideline for induced breeding and hatchery production of Gilthead Seabream,
