Male infertility trials are unique in that they have potentially three participants, a man, a female partner and their offspring and this will likely lead to significant variation in outcome reporting in randomized trials.<h4>Study design size duration</h4>A systematic review of RCTs mapping outcomes and outcome measures evaluating potential treatmHuman reproduction openhoac010https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8982407biostudies-literatureOutcome reporting across randomized controlled trials evaluating potential treatments for male infertility: a systematic review.PMC8982407Subramanian VBortoletto PAnderson RABeebeejaun YBertolla RPDuffy JMNHowie RASunkara SKRimmer MPvan Wely MNiederberger CFarquhar CMPacey AMitchell RTfalseOutcome reporting across randomized controlled trials evaluating potential treatments for male infertility: a systematic review.<h4>Study question</h4>What are the primary outcomes and outcome measures used in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating potential treatments for male infertility in the last 10 years?<h4>Summary answer</h4>Outcome reporting across male infertility trials is heterogeneous with numerous definitions and measures used to define similar outcomes.<h4>What is known already</h4>No core outcome set for male infertility trials has been developed.
