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

Introduction: 45,X/46,XY mosaicism is a rare anomaly in sexual differentiation, presenting with diverse phenotypes and often leading to infertility due to abnormal gonadal development. Aims: This report aims to present a case study of a 45,X/46,XY mosaic male patient with an ejaculatory disorder attributed to seminal vesicle dysplasia. Methods: In this case study, diagnostic procedures encompassed blood tests, semen analysis, chromosomal examination, and imaging studies to assess gonadal morphology. Treatment strategies included attempted varicocelectomy, pharmacological intervention with amoxapine, and surgical testicular sperm extraction. Additionally, the patient underwent assisted reproductive techniques, specifically intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), to facilitate pregnancy for his wife. Results: A 32-year-old man could not ejaculate, with post-orgasmic urinalysis revealing minimal sperm presence. Chromosomal analysis confirmed 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. Despite undergoing microsurgical varicocelectomy for clinical varicocele and receiving tricyclic antidepressants, no improvement in semen volume occurred. Imaging studies indicated ejaculatory disorder due to prostate and seminal vesicle aplasia. Consequently, surgical retrieval of testicular sperm was performed, leading to successful pregnancy via ICSI for his wife. Conclusion: Our approach has effectively addressed ejaculatory disorder in 45,X/46,XY mosaic men, resulting in successful pregnancy.
