Pregnancy via Testicular Sperm Extraction for Anejaculation After Neuroblastoma Surgery.

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
Background: Surgical treatment of a neuroblastoma, a malignant tumor of the sympathetic nervous system, may result in ejaculatory disorder. There are no reports examining ejaculation disorders after neuroblastoma surgery. Case Presentation: The patient was a 31-year-old Japanese male who had undergone surgery for neuroblastoma of the abdomen at age 0. He had difficulty in ejaculation, with postorgasmic urinalysis showing no sperm. A diagnosis of anejaculation was then established, and sperm retrieval via testicular sperm extraction was performed, which was successful. His wife underwent oocyte retrieval and achieved pregnancy via intracytoplasmic testicular sperm injection and blastocyst transfer. Conclusions: We experienced a case in which testicular sperm extraction resulted in a successful pregnancy despite anejaculation that was developed after surgical treatment for an abdominal neuroblastoma. Therefore, pregnancy can be achieved with appropriate treatment even in the case of anejaculation.
