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: Artificial insemination in sheep is one of the important reproductive technologies that accelerate the increase in the population of Sapudi sheep. The success of fertilization is higher with the addition of oxytocin in semen than with exogenous oxytocin administration. The semen diluents used were milk and egg yolk citrate. Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of oxytocin inclusion in extender on viability, motility, plasma membrane integrity, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and catalase levels in Sapudi sheep semen stored at 5°C. Methods: Semen was collected with an artificial vagina and examined macroscopically and microscopically. Each ejaculate was divided into four parts according to the treatment group. The control group (T0) consisted of fresh semen diluted in a skim milk-egg yolk-citrate extender without oxytocin addition. The treatment groups received the same extender supplemented with oxytocin at different concentrations: T1 with 5 IU/100 ml, T2 with 10 IU/100 ml, and T3 with 15 IU/100 ml of extender. All treatments were stored at 5°C and evaluated daily for 5 days. Results: Group T2 had the highest viability, motility, intact plasma membrane, and catalase enzyme levels ( Conclusion: This study indicated that the inclusion of 10 IU/100 ml of oxytocin in skim milk-egg yolk-citrate extender can maintain the quality of Sapudi ram semen with a motility of more than 40% after 5 days of refrigerated storage.
