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

Seminal plasma proteins are vital for sperm metabolism, protection against oxidative stress, fertility, and early embryo development. A substantial body of data evidence that seminal plasma proteomes are highly species-specific. However, this information remains dispersed across the literature, hindering comparative analyses and limiting the identification of potential, conserved fertility-related biomarkers. To address this gap, we developed SemProtDB (https://semprotdb.org/), the first centralized database of seminal plasma from domestic mammals. It consolidates data from 28 studies, featuring nearly 18,000 protein entries from 8 major species: Bos taurus, Bubalus bubalis, Capra hircus, Ovis aries, Equus caballus, Equus asinus, Canis lupus familiaris, and Sus scrofa. With more than 1500 proteins manually curated, the database provides a user-friendly interface linked to UniProt, NCBI, STRING, and source publications. SemProtDB represents an unprecedented resource for reproductive biology, facilitating comparative and translational research to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying fertility across species.
