I suppose they mean "volume" as in physical size of sperm. A nice way to disguise an actually significant (depending on standard p-value for the field) outcome.

It is semen volume. Also, "motility" here refers to the % motile sperm, which is an established parameter measured in semen analysis. They don't seem to be trying to hide the fact that there is a reduction in the total motile sperm since they've provided it in the abstract; the point is this is a function of the reduction in total count rather than % motility.
Edit: Actually, I stand corrected. Looking through their actual data, it does appear that % motile sperm is slightly decreased (by 2-5%) with a marginal p value (0.058). It is incorrect to report this as "stable" when it does suggest a reduction. In addition, their data does NOT clearly show a return to baseline; motile sperm counts remain lower at their final timepoint, and likely are not statistically significant from baseline timepoint due to inadequate power. The statistical interpretations in that study are terrible - a reduction that is non statistical significant cannot be used to infer that there is no difference, it can only be used to infer that there is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis of no difference.
Contradictions between the abstract and the conclusions, or the abstract and data, or the conclusions and the data itself are quite common. And nobody even cares because scientists don't even read the papers they cite.
This is what happens when the real world equivalent of the Shinra corporation has bought off the drug regulators, the mainstream media and pretty much all the politicians.
Not an intended side effect, but a welcome one, to be sure. As if cucks needed help going extinct.
I don't believe they intended this, and it's certainly going to bite them in the ass. People have already started hating the medical industrial complex. This is only going to fuel more of a backlash. Though, it is nice to see natural selection in action. Those who distrust the government and big brother will be more prevalent in future generations thanks to this little bottleneck. Thank you, globohomos.
Medical """science""" is a toxic dumpster fire.

A shame Rufus took over Shinra, then.

Two years ago you would have been called fuckin' luneytoons.
