Beyond body mass index: the role of fat distribution in male sperm quality.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 explore the dual role of obesity and fat distribution on sperm dynamics and morphological parameters and to further assess the impact on male fertility. Methods: A population of 823 male semen examinations from the Male Reproductive Health Database (FAST-Date, 2022-2025), was retrospectively analyzed for general information, obesity indicators, sperm dynamics and morphology parameter ratings, and male fertility assessment indicators. Results: There were differences in sperm dynamics and sperm morphology parameters between the non-obesity and obesity group populations ( Conclusion: Obesity reduces sperm quality (sperm dynamics and morphological parameters), whereas central obesity outperforms generalized and simple obesity in some sperm dynamics and morphological parameters. This underscores the clinical importance of assessing fat distribution, not just overall obesity, in the evaluation of male reproductive health.
