Unique Physiological Mechanisms of Sperm Storage and Prolonged Sperm Survival in Hen Oviducts: A Review.
Review in The journal of poultry science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Poultry sperm survive for extended periods within sperm storage tubules (SSTs) located at the uterovaginal junction (UVJ) of the oviduct, and their survival period is directly correlated with fertility. In this review, the mechanisms underlying sperm longevity in SSTs are discussed, with a focus on recent discoveries related to the functions of SSTs and UVJ tissue. In particular, the possible role of fatty acids and exosomes secreted by SST cells in sperm survival are discussed. Subsequently, the importance of gonadal steroid receptors in maintaining the integrity and function of the SSTs is described. Additionally, the role of the local immune system in protecting sperm from infection and facilitating the selection of high-quality sperm is discussed. Disruption of these SST functions may result in reduced fertility. This review provides updated information on the mechanisms that enable prolonged sperm survival in SSTs.
