Epidemiologic Approaches for Studying Assisted Reproductive Technologies: Design, Methods, Analysis and Interpretation.
Article in Current epidemiology reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
purposeWhile considerable progress has been made since the advent of assisted reproductive technology (ART), the field remains a complex and challenging one for clinicians and researchers alike. This review discusses some of the most salient issues pertaining to the study of ART and whenever possible suggestions on how to address them. RECENT
findingsMore than 5 million babies have been born through ART to date, representing up to 4% of all births worldwide. While technologies continue to evolve and demand for treatment grows, it is more important than ever to conduct rigorous and timely research to help guide clinical practice that is safe and effective, and that minimizes potential short- and long-term adverse outcomes to mother and child. SUMMARY: ART research will require exceedingly more sophisticated research methods, designs, and analyses that are rooted in a reproductive epidemiological framework in order to improve future research and ultimately promote better outcomes for all subfertile couples and their children.
