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
Introduction: The current understanding of physiological parameters and redox balance in buffalo bull semen is limited and derived from various breeds. Moreover, the effects of cryopreservation in various buffalo breeds remain unclear. Methods: This study aimed to investigate the relationships between physiological parameters and compare fresh (F) and frozen-thawed (T) semen in Italian Mediterranean buffalos (IMB; 7, bulls). Buffalo ejaculates were collected using an artificial vagina and cryopreserved using a standard protocol. Both F and T were analyzed by CASA and flow cytometry Semen parameters assessed included motility, viability (using PI or SG counterstains for each assay), acrosome integrity (PSA), mitochondrial membrane potential (JC1), mitochondrial integrity (MT), intracytoplasmic (DHE) and mitochondrial (MX) superoxide production, and other intracellular reactive oxygen species (CR). The T samples were assessed immediately after thawing (T0) and following 3 h incubation at 37°C (T3). Results: Results showed significant correlations ( Discussion: In conclusion, cryopreservation and subsequent incubation significantly affect mitochondrial functions, which strongly correlate with sperm motility. A deeper understanding of sperm energy metabolism and its relationship with redox regulation could allow for the optimization of current assisted reproductive technologies (ART), as these factors play a crucial role in sperm viability, motility, and fertilization capacity, which are critical for optimizing outcomes in ART procedures.
