Use of testicular versus ejaculated sperm for intracytoplasmic sperm injection among men with cryptozoospermia: a meta-analysis Nikita Abhyankar, M.B.ChB., Martin Kathrins, M.D., Craig Niederberger, M.D. Fertility and Sterility Volume 105, Issue 6, Pages e1 (June 2016) DOI: /j.fertnstert Copyright © 2016 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Flow chart to demonstrate study selection process. *Irrelevant cohorts are studies that do not compare groups of men with cryptozoospermia in which both ejaculated and testicular sperm were used in separate intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles.

Supplemental Figure 1 Funnel plot of studies used for analyzing pregnancy rate (PR) and fertilization rate with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) when using testicular or ejaculated sperm from men with cryptozoospermia. Funnel plots demonstrating heterogeneity in the PR analysis with study “2” as a potentially outlying study. Fertilization rate funnel plot shows symmetry suggesting limited bias. RR = relative risk.
