Fig. 8: Significant diagnoses in the primary analysis are correlated before and after the 6-month cutoff as well as between UC and Stanford.

a Ln-ln plot of the ln(odds ratio) of significant diagnoses in the primary analysis that were first obtained after the 6-month cutoff versus the ln(odds ratio) of significant diagnoses in the primary analysis that were first obtained before the 6-month cutoff at UC. b Ln-ln plot of the ln(odds ratio) of significant diagnoses in the primary analysis that were first obtained after the 6-month cutoff versus the ln(odds ratio) of significant diagnoses in the primary analysis that were first obtained before the 6-month cutoff at Stanford. c Ln-ln plot of the ln(odds ratio) of significant diagnoses in the primary analysis that were first obtained before the 6-month cutoff at Stanford versus the ln(odds ratio) of significant diagnoses in the primary analysis that were first obtained before the 6-month cutoff at UC. d Ln-ln plot of the ln(odds ratio) of significant diagnoses in the primary analysis that were first obtained after the 6-month cutoff at Stanford versus the ln(odds ratio) of significant diagnoses in the primary analysis that were first obtained after the 6-month cutoff at UC. For all panels, Pearson correlation coefficient was used to assess correlation and significance. For panels (a, b), mi - before only (light pink dots)—diagnoses that are positively associated with male infertility before the 6-month cutoff only, mi - after only (pink dots)—diagnoses that are positively associated with male infertility after the 6-month cutoff only, mi - both (dark pink dots)—diagnoses that are positively associated with male infertility both before and after the 6-month cutoff, con - before only (light blue dots)—diagnoses that are negatively associated with male infertility before the 6-month cutoff only, con - after only (blue dots)—diagnoses that are negatively associated with male infertility after the 6-month cutoff only, con - both (dark blue dots)—diagnoses that are negatively associated with male infertility both before and after the 6-month cutoff. For panels (c, d), mi - uc only (light pink dots)—diagnoses that are positively associated with male infertility at UC only, mi—stanford only (pink dots)—diagnoses that are positively associated with male infertility at Stanford only, mi - both (dark pink dots)—diagnoses that are positively associated with male infertility at UC and Stanford, con - uc only (light blue dots)—diagnoses that are negatively associated with male infertility at UC only, con - stanford only (blue dots)—diagnoses that are negatively associated with male infertility at Stanford only, con - both (dark blue dots)—diagnoses that are negatively associated with male infertility at UC and Stanford. UC—University of California. n = 6531 UC patients with male infertility, n = 8353 UC patients with vasectomy-related record; n = 5551 Stanford patients with male infertility, n = 2464 Stanford patients with vasectomy-related record.
