Figure 3 A subgroup analysis in which only studies that accounted for female variables were included. (a) live birth rate in the high and low sperm DNA fragmentation groups using IVF; (b) low birth rate in the high and low DNA fragmentation groups using intracytoplasmic sperm injection. COMET = single cell gel electrophoresis assay; SCSA = sperm chromatin structure assay; TUNEL = TdT (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase)-mediated dUDP nick-end labelling.
