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
Artificial insemination in rabbit farms is commonly performed using either fresh semen or doses stored at 14-18 °C for up to 3 days. However, exposure to elevated temperatures can impair sperm motility, concentration, and overall semen quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cold storage on semen from two rabbit genetic lines divergently selected for resilience to thermal stress. A total of 254 ejaculates from 46 males belonging to the HE line (selected for reduced litter size variability) and the HO line (selected for increased litter size variability) were analyzed. Sperm motility and kinematic parameters, viability, acrosome reaction, reactive oxygen species (mROS), and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were assessed. Bayesian methods were applied for statistical analysis. In fresh semen, both lines showed similar proportions of motile and progressive spermatozoa under both comfort and heat stress conditions. In contrast, after refrigeration, the HO line maintained higher motility than the HE line under comfort (75.3% vs. 66.0%;
