Cryopreserved Indonesian Simmental bull semen: Effect of L-arginine supplementation in Tris egg yolk extender on sperm quality.

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
Background: The Indonesian government aims to encourage the beef cattle population to increase livestock numbers through artificial insemination (AI). However, this initiative encounters challenges due to the low quality of semen following cryopreservation. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of L-arginine supplementation in the Tris egg yolk extender on the motility, kinematic movement, viability, acrosome integrity, and lipid peroxidation of cryopreserved Simmental bull spermatozoa. Methods: The experiment involved four groups with 20 replicates each: the control group (CG), Group 1 (G1) using 0.05 M L-arginine, Group 2 (G2) using 0.1 M L-arginine, and Group 3 (G3) using 0.2 M L-arginine in a Tris-Yolk extender. Observations included spermatozoa motility and kinematic movement (computer-assisted sperm analysis), viability, acrosome integrity, and lipid peroxidation measured by Malondialdehyde (MDA) (thiobarbituric acid test). Data were analyzed using post hoc analysis of variance, Duncan's test, with significance Results: The findings of this study indicate that the supplementation of 0.05 M L-arginine (G1) in extender significantly ( Conclusion: A low dose of L-arginine (G1) effectively enhances sperm motility, viability, and acrosome integrity and reduces lipid peroxidation levels. In contrast, higher doses (G2 and G3) had no beneficial effects compared with GC and G1.
