The Effects of Anthocyanins Added to Semen Diluent on Semen Quality, Semen Antioxidant Capacity, and Sperm Apoptosis in Zi Geese.

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
The Zi goose is an excellent local goose breed in China, characterized by strong tolerance to roughage, high cold resistance, and high egg production. Anthocyanins are natural water-soluble pigments with numerous biological functions such as growth promotion, antioxidant activity, and immune regulation. However, there are few reports on whether anthocyanins have an improving effect on Zi goose semen. This study aimed to explore the effects of anthocyanins on semen quality, semen antioxidant capacity, and sperm apoptosis of Zi geese, so as to provide references for the large-scale breeding and industrial utilization of Zi geese. Sixty 12-month-old Zi geese were selected for the experiment, and their semen was collected by the massage method. Semen diluent containing different concentrations of anthocyanins was added to the mixed semen, which was then stored at 37 °C for detections. The results showed that the sperm survival rate of Zi geese was the highest when 30 mg/L of anthocyanins was added to the diluent. Compared with the control group, the anthocyanin group showed significantly higher sperm survival rate, sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity rate, acrosome integrity rate, mitochondrial activity, and DNA integrity (
