Obesity and male infertility - a tenuous relationship: Facts discerned for the busy clinicians.
Review in Arab journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Obesity is a common health problem affecting over a third of the population worldwide. Obesity has been correlated with many diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, cancer, brain degeneration, and premature aging. In men, obesity can also cause issues like erectile dysfunction, poor sperm quality, and prostate problems. Factors like high insulin levels, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress may play a role in how obesity affects male fertility. Obesity can disrupt the male reproductive system by changing hormone levels, affecting sperm production, and causing problems with metabolism. This can result in a reduction of sperm count, motility, and normal forms. Obesity can also cause sperm DNA fragmentation, increase cell death, and impact the genetic information that can be passed on to future generations. This narrative review explores how obesity impacts male reproductive health and fertility, as well as possible treatment options like weight management, lifestyle changes, medications, and alternative therapies.
