Counseling lesbian patients about getting pregnant.
Review in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2006. 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
objectiveTo describe an approach to counseling lesbian patients about getting pregnant. SOURCES OF INFORMATION: Information in this paper is based on evidence from randomized controlled trials (level I evidence), non-randomized trials (level II evidence), expert opinion (level III evidence), and government regulations. MAIN MESSAGE: We review 5 steps that comprise an approach to counseling lesbian patients about getting pregnant safely and efficiently. These steps are preconception care (including counseling, testing, and immunization); donor choice (including explaining the risks and benefits of choosing between a known or anonymous donor and the difference between fresh and frozen semen); donor testing (including Health Canada's requirements for semen processing and recommendations for testing before home insemination); ordering the semen (including information about sperm banks and the need for "Canadian compliant" semen); and the insemination process (including techniques for monitoring ovulation and various methods of insemination).
conclusionPrimary care physicians can help lesbians achieve pregnancy by providing education, testing, referrals, and insemination services.
