Single blastocyst transfer after ICSI from ejaculate spermatozoa, percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) or testicular sperm extraction (TESE).
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
purposeTo investigate the outcome of IVF following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) from ejaculate, percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) and testicular sperm extraction (TESE), with subsequent blastocyst culture and single blastocyst transfer.
methodsSingle blastocyst transfer was performed after ejaculate ICSI (oligozoospermia) in 587 patients, TESE/PESA (azoospermia) in 31 patients, and standard IVF in 680 women.
resultsThere were only minor differences in IVF characteristics between the standard IVF and the PESA-TESE couples. Couples where ejaculate ICSI were performed seemed to represent a slightly poorer prognostic group. A viable fetus after the 12th gestational week, i.e. ongoing pregnancy, was present in 41.4% after ICSI/ET, 51.6% after PESA-TESE/ET and in 40.4% after standard IVF/ET (no significant differences).
conclusionSingle blastocyst transfer after ejaculate ICSI or after PESA/TESE appears to give similar results as conventional IVF blastocyst culture.
