Comparison of the effects of mediterranean temperate and cold mountain climates on human fertility.
Article in Materia socio-medica, 2014. 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
backgroundOwing to the emergence of some challenges in the demographic structure of many countries and possible decrease in young human workforce in the future decades, the reduction in the fertility rate has become a major public concern. This study aimed to investigate the effects of climatic factors on fertility.
aimIn this correlational study conducted during 2005-2009, the relationship between climatic factors (monthly average temperature, air pressure, rainfall, and humidity) and monthly fertility in women living in areas with two different climates was investigated.
methodsTHE STUDY REGIONS INCLUDED TWO CITIES OF IRAN: Behshahr and Hamedan having temperate Mediterranean climate and cold mountain climate, respectively. The means and standard deviations of the investigated variables were computed and reported. Furthermore, Pearson correlation coefficients and linear regression were also employed.
resultsThe findings indicated that monthly fertility in women living in temperate Mediterranean climate was related to temperature (r = -0.340, p = 0.008), air pressure (r = -0.502, p = 0.002), and rainfall (r = 0.319, p = 0.013), whereas this relationship was not found in women living in cold mountain climate. Furthermore, fecundity peak was observed during autumn in both the climates.
conclusionsConsidering the influences of climatic factors on fertility, it would be better if physicians pay attention to other aspects of human fertility than the clinical conditions during client evaluation.
