MitoQ as a Mitochondria-Targeted Antioxidant in Sperm Cryopreservation: An Updated Review on Its Mechanisms, Efficacy, and Future Perspectives.
Review in Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 cryopreservation is a key technique in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), livestock breeding, fertility preservation, and wildlife conservation. However, the freeze-thaw process induces significant oxidative stress through the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by mitochondria, which can lead to impaired sperm motility, membrane damage, DNA fragmentation, and reduced fertilization potential. MitoQ is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant consisting of a ubiquinone moiety conjugated to triphenylphosphonium (TPP
