Constructing a nomogram for ICSI-ET assisted reproductive outcomes in infertile men based on lifestyle and sperm quality: a multicenter retrospective survey.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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
Objective: To identify risk factors influencing clinical pregnancy outcomes in infertile men undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (lCSl) and to establish and validate a nomogram prediction model. Methods: A total of 1,037 infertile men who underwent lCSl-fresh embryo transfer (lCSl-ET) at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Tongji University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from February 2023 to February 2024 were included. Differences in demographic and laboratory indicators between 403 pregnancy cycles (study group) and 634 non-pregnancy cycles (control group) were analyzed. Lasso regression was applied to select predictive variables, which were further used in multivariate logistic regression to construct the nomogram. External validation was conducted using data from 290 infertile men who underwent ICSl treatment at Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (March-June 2024). Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), confusion matrix and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA). Results: Age, body mass index, smoking, drinking, daily sleep time, daily exercise time, stress, progressive sperm motility rate, and sperm DNA fragmentation index were identified as predictors. In the training set, the model achieved an AUC of 0.919 (95% Cl: 0.900-0.938), the accuracy was 85.3% (95% CI:82.7%~87.5%), the sensitivity was 85.4% (95% CI: 81.1%~89.1%), the specificity was 85.2% (95% CI: 82.0%~88.1%). The validation set show that AUC of 0.930 (95% C1: 0.892-0.968), the accuracy was 80.7% (95% CI:74.8%~85.5%), the sensitivity was 78.8% (95% CI: 68.5%~86.9%), and the specificity was 81.9% (95% CI: 73.8%~88.4%). The external validation set results show that the AUC was 0.918 (95%CI: 0.876-0.959), the accuracy was 93.8% (95% CI: 90.4-96.0%), the sensitivity was 94.4% (95% CI: 88.4%~97.4%), and the specificity was 93.4% (95% CI: 88.8%~96.2%), indicating strong discrimination and calibration. Conclusion: Both sperm quality and lifestyle factors significantly affect clinical pregnancy outcomes in ICSl-ET cycles among infertile men. The developed nomogram demonstrates excellent predictive accuracy and reliability, providing a useful tool for clinicians to deliver individualized counseling and targeted interventions.
