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
Despite the widespread use of cryopreserved dog semen, reliable predictors of individual semen freezability are still not available. This study investigated the relationship between post-ejaculatory blood plasma concentrations of canine prostate-specific esterase (CPSE) and semen quality following cryopreservation. The CPSE levels were quantified using a canine-specific sandwich-type immunoassay, and sperm quality was evaluated in fresh and frozen-thawed samples using motility, kinematic, and morphological sperm parameters. Cryopreservation resulted in a significant decline in sperm motility and morphology, with marked variability in the magnitude of post-thaw changes among individuals. CPSE showed significant correlations with several morpho-functional parameters in both fresh and frozen-thawed sperm (
