1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a promising animal model for preclinical biomedical research due to genetic, anatomic, and physiological similarity to humans. Assisted reproductive technologies can maximize the potential of captive research marmoset colonies, including preservation and propagation of genetically desirable or modified individuals. The literature on marmoset sperm cryopreservation is sparse, and limited assessments have been applied to the existing protocols that have yet to be fully optimized. In this study, we refined and standardized established cryopreservation components for common marmoset sperm, performed a comprehensive evaluation of frozen-thawed sperm quality, and identified accessible components for widespread adoption. While sperm were significantly less motile following cryopreservation compared to fresh sperm, no significant differences were detected across different cryostorage durations up to 6 months. Moreover, the average post-thaw recovery rates were 66% (total motility) and 36% (progressive motility), exceeding previously reported outcomes. Fresh and frozen-thawed sperm exhibited no significant differences in key structural parameters, including acrosome integrity and DNA fragmentation. The improved marmoset sperm cryopreservation protocol reported here will facilitate the sharing of genetically diverse and/or gene-edited sperm for research and colony management and provide a robust foundation for future studies aimed at enhancing the outcomes of frozen-thawed sperm in this and other NHP species.
