The Importance of Discordant Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Inhibin B Levels in Primary Infertile Men: Findings from a Cross-Sectional Study.

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
purposeWe aimed to investigate the relationship between follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and inhibin B (InhB). MATERIALS AND
methodsData from 1,230 consecutive men presenting for primary couple's infertility were analyzed. Health-significant comorbidities were scored with Charlson comorbidity index. Quartiles of FSH and InhB were considered to determine threshold values. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models tested association between FSH and InhB values.
resultsOverall, 1,080 (87.8%) men had concordant FSH and InhB values. Conversely, 150 patients (12.2%) had discrepancies in FSH and InhB, with 78 (6.3%) and 72 (5.9%) men reporting both low and high FSH and InhB values, respectively. Infertile men with discordant values were younger (median [interquartile range] 38.0 years [34-41 years]
conclusionsMore than one out of ten infertile men had discordant FSH and InhB values in the real-life setting showing worse clinical profiles than those with concordant levels. Smaller TV and history of cryptorchidism could be used as clinical markers to better tailor the need to test InhB.
