Individual Effect of Bull Prevails over Sperm Characteristics in Predictive Models.
Article in Biomolecules, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sperm quality influences bovine in vitro embryo production (IVEP). Linear regression is a statistical tool that models the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It can be used to predict outcomes, analyze trends, and understand the impact of variables. These models are useful for indicating which sperm variables most influence IVEP results, facilitating the selection of superior samples to enhance IVEP. Using early IVEP indicators, such as cleavage rate, can assist in scheduling recipient preparation. This work aimed to construct linear regression models to study the influence of a comprehensive set of sperm variables and cleavage rate on IVEP yields. A dataset comprising 51 semen batches from 23 Nellore bulls was compiled, including 26 sperm variables from computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) and flow cytometry per batch, with 184 IVEP procedures. The most robust predictive model had a coefficient of determination of 0.6358; furthermore, the BULL variable was the most influential predictor, yielding an independent coefficient of determination of 0.5218. Models that were exclusively founded on sperm analysis yielded meager coefficients of determination (<0.04). However, to predict the best batch from a bull, individual models achieve coefficients of determination ranging from 0.58 to 0.99. Contributions, impacts, and positive or negative correlations of various sperm variables with in vitro performance were influenced by the bull. We conclude that the BULL variable was the dominant predictor of in vitro performance, with cleavage rates serving as an early estimator of blastocyst rates. The predictive utility of analyzed sperm traits remains limited. Nonetheless, individualized models offer a valuable tool for selecting optimal batches for preferred bulls within IVEP laboratories, culminating in heightened blastocyst rates.
