Feasibility of studying subfertility using retrospective self reports.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and community health, 1989. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
During an investigation of possible reproductive effects of environmental agents, 261 male and 155 female workers were interviewed concerning subfertility at some time in the past: the time taken to conceive, for all births; and the occurrence of one or more fertile phases lasting for 6 months or more. When these two variables were compared, the quality of reporting was acceptable in 89.7% of instances, and data editing enabled accuracy to be improved. Reporting was more reliable with shorter duration of recall, and female workers' reports were somewhat more reliable than those of male workers. The distribution of time taken to conceive was similar for male workers to that observed in previously published prospective series, though with a higher estimate of subfertility when infertile phases were also considered. Comparison with published estimates of reduced fertility appeared to be reassuring. As predicted, the equivalent comparisons for female workers showed the presence of a strong selection effect.
