Riboflavin Increases Goat Sperm Motility via Enhancement of Mitochondrial β-Oxidation.

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
Mitochondrial energy metabolism is fundamental to sperm function, and fatty acid β-oxidation is an important pathway for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Riboflavin, a precursor of key flavin cofactors, plays a critical role in regulating β-oxidation and supports multiple physiological processes. This study aimed to determine whether adding riboflavin to semen dilution media could enhance goat sperm motility and to elucidate the underlying metabolic mechanisms. Goat semen was diluted in tris-citrate-glucose (TCG) medium containing 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 μM riboflavin and incubated at 37 °C, after which sperm motility, acrosome integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP levels, malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activities, and the NADH/NAD
