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

This retrospective analysis compared the outcomes of fertilization and pregnancy rates of 107 azoospermia patients treating with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Sperms were obtained by testicular biopsy surgery, with which we used in ICSI subsequently. The outcomes were compared by different kinds of causes leading to azoospermia in the 107 cases. 69 cases of obstructive azoospermia and 38 cases non-obstructive, the fertilization rates were 61.94% and 53.47% respectively, and pregnancy rates were 67.65% and 52.63%. 78 cases with normal volume testes and 29 cases with small testes, the fertilization rates were 70.93% and 48.80% respectively, and pregnancy rates were 66.25% and 50.00%. There was significant difference in fertilization rates between obstructive, non-obstructive and normal volume testes, small testes (P < 0.05), but no significant difference in pregnancy rates (P > 0.05). The pregnancy rate was significant difference between female age < 32 and ≥ 32 whatever the cause of azoospermia was (P < 0.05). Our study reveals that obstructive azoospermia and normal volume testes have higher fertilization rates in ICSI, but the pregnancy rates are only related to female age.
