Seminal plasma protein profiles and their association with semen quality parameters in Aceh bulls: A comparative study.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 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
Background: Semen quality is a crucial determinant of male fertility, and seminal plasma proteins play an essential role in the regulation of sperm function, protection, and fertilization ability. Profiling these proteins can provide insights into fertility-associated markers in livestock, particularly in indigenous cattle such as the Aceh bull. Aim: This study aimed to determine the seminal plasma protein profile of Aceh bulls and analyze its relationship with semen quality parameters. Methods: Semen was collected once a week using an artificial vagina. The collected samples were evaluated both macroscopically and microscopically. Macroscopic evaluation included volume, color, pH, and consistency, while microscopic evaluation assessed mass movement, motility, viability, morphology, membrane integrity (MI), and acrosome integrity using an Olympus BX51 microscope. Sperm concentration was measured using an (SDM 6, Minitube, Tiefenbach, Germany). Seminal plasma proteins were analyzed using one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (1D SDS-PAGE). Results: Aceh bull semen had an average volume of 6.25 ± 1.25 ml, a pH of 6.7 ± 0.04, a milky white color, and medium viscosity. Microscopic evaluations revealed motility of 76.30% ± 3.79%, concentration of 1541 ± 79.9 × 10 Conclusion: The seminal plasma protein profiles of Aceh bulls showed a negative correlation with semen quality parameters. Lower MW proteins were associated with higher semen quality, indicating their potential as fertility assessment biomarkers in Aceh bulls.
