Identifying women with indicators of subfertility in a statewide population database: operationalizing the missing link in assisted reproductive technology research.
Trial report in Fertility and sterility, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
objectiveTo identify a group of deliveries to mothers with indicators of subfertility (SUBFERTILITY).
designLongitudinal cohort study.
settingHospital. PATIENT(S): A total of 334,152 deliveries to Massachusetts mothers in a Massachusetts hospital between July 1, 2004, and December 31, 2008. INTERVENTION(S): None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Subfertility was defined by an indication on a current or past birth certificate or hospital utilization data of infertility or assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle before index delivery and no indication of ART use with index delivery. RESULT(S): Initially, 12,367 deliveries met the inclusion criteria for SUBFERTILITY (8,019 from birth certificates, 2,777 from hospital data, 1,571 from prior ART treatment). Removing deliveries from more than one data source resulted in 10,764 unique deliveries. Removing deliveries resulting from ART treatments left 6,238 deliveries in the SUBFERTILITY category. Demographic analysis indicated that deliveries in SUBFERTILITY were more similar to those in the ART population than to those in the fertile population. CONCLUSION(S): We have demonstrated the feasibility of using existing population-based linked public health data sets to identify SUBFERTILITY deliveries, and we have used ART data to distinguish ART and SUBFERTILITY births. The SUBFERTILITY category can serve as a comparison group of subfertile patients for studies of ART delivery and longitudinal health outcomes.
