Enhancing the Fertility Potential: A Case Report on the Management of Oligoasthenozoospermia Using a Microfluidic Device.

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
Low sperm count and motility in oligoasthenozoospermia present significant challenges to conception. This case report involves a couple, a 28-year-old female and a 35-year-old male, experiencing secondary infertility for four years. The male partner's habits of alcohol consumption and smoking were potential infertility factors. Semen analysis revealed a total sperm count of 10 million/mL, with total motility at 30% and progressive motility at 5%. The couple underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), using advanced sperm separation techniques to isolate motile and morphologically normal sperm. Despite the suboptimal sperm parameters, this approach resulted in successful fertilization and pregnancy. The female partner's preparation involved a short antagonist treatment, leading to the retrieval of eight oocytes, seven of which were mature. A positive urine pregnancy test and ultrasound confirmed the pregnancy, with β-hCG at 798 mIU/mL. This case highlights the potential of individualized treatments in managing oligoasthenozoospermia, emphasizing their promise in improving assisted reproductive outcomes despite mixed research results.
