First Case of Sperm Detection by Testicular Sperm Extraction in a Patient With XXY/XX Mosaicism.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a chromosome disorder characterized by small firm testes, gynecomastia, hypogonadism, and abnormally elevated concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Most KS patients show a classic 47,XXY karyotype, while about 20% have other numeric sex chromosome abnormalities, including mosaicisms. 47,XXY/46,XX mosaicism is extremely rare, and has been reported in just 10 individuals with features suggestive of KS. None of these had any spermatozoa in their ejaculate or testicular samples. We describe the first case of sperm retrieval in a 19-year-old male patient with a 47,XXY/46,XX chromosomal pattern, assessed on 100 metaphases. Since 2 semen analyses had shown azoospermia, the patient underwent surgical testicular sperm extraction (TESE): Numerous primary spermatocytes, spermatids, and spermatozoa with normal morphology and nonlinear motility were found in the right testis, while few spermatocytes and rare immobile spermatozoa were observed in the left testis. Immediate cryopreservation of the sample was performed in our sperm bank for future use in assisted reproductive technology. This case underscores the rarity and complexity of this genetic condition and highlights the importance of early fertility assessment and intervention in patients with a 47,XXY/46,XX karyotype.
