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

Oxidative damage is closely associated with the gradual decline in boar sperm quality during liquid storage at 17 °C. To determine whether L-histidine (L-His) could limit this deterioration, semen was diluted with an extender containing 0, 1, 10, 100, or 1000 μM L-His. Motility and acrosomal integrity were measured throughout storage. On day 7, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and ATP content were determined together with intracellular probe oxidation, membrane lipid oxidation, and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining patterns. The stored sperm were subsequently exposed to capacitating conditions and tested for their ability to bind to oviductal explants. The most favorable responses were observed with 100 μM L-His. Compared with untreated semen, this group retained higher motility and acrosomal integrity and showed higher MMP and ATP content (
