Male Infertility in Robertsonian Translocation: A Case Report.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND Translocations are the most common type of chromosomal structural anomalies. In balanced translocations, there is not an obvious loss of genetic material; they are usually phenotypically normal adults who present with reproductive issues. Male carriers of Robertsonian (ROB) translocation can have infertility and are shown to have abnormal semen analysis. Some patients have positive sperms in the ejaculate. Therefore, fertility management can be offered to couples to achieve pregnancy and delivery of healthy neonates. CASE REPORT We present 2 cases of 34- and 35-year-old males who presented to our tertiary care hospital because of primary infertility. Semen analysis showed nonobstructive cryptozoospermia and azoospermia, respectively. Genetic tests revealed ROB translocation (13;14). Fertility treatment was offered to both couples. CONCLUSIONS Males with ROB translocation can have positive sperms in the ejaculate. A multidisciplinary approach should be offered to the couples to help them achieve clinical pregnancy, reduce the risk of miscarriage, and increase the rates of delivery of healthy neonates.
