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
The ZyMōt system is one of the commercially available sperm selection tools based on the microfluidic method. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the ZyMōt system for the selection of canine sperm. Semen samples from six dogs were subjected to selection. Spermatozoa were assessed using basic and advanced methods of semen analysis, including computer-assisted sperm analysis and flow cytometry. Sperm viability, morphology, motility and morphostructural features, such as cell membrane integrity, acrosome integrity and mitochondrial membrane potential, were assessed. The results revealed that the ZyMōt membrane is able to retain dead, slow-moving, immotile and morphologically abnormal spermatozoa. However, no significant improvement was observed in any of the evaluated parameters in the selected sperm population. Moreover, the selection process resulted in substantial losses in the total number of sperm. For this reason, the ZyMōt system is not applicable for dog sperm selection under the currently developed protocol. Further research is necessary to adapt this method for use in this species.
