Lycopene and SKQ1 Improve Boar Sperm Quality During 17 °C Storage via the AMPK/Nrf2 Pathway.

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
During the storage of boar sperm at 17 °C, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously generated. Excessive ROS can disrupt the mitochondrial redox balance and cause sperm damage. In this study, boar semen was diluted with solutions containing different concentrations of the natural antioxidant lycopene (1, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 μM) or the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant SKQ1 (1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 70 nM), and sperm vitality was assessed throughout storage at 17 °C. Based on the screening results, the optimal concentrations were selected for combined application to investigate their effects on sperm quality and potential synergistic interactions. The results demonstrated that sperm motility was significantly higher in the 20 μM lycopene and 50 nM SKQ1 treatment groups compared to the control (
