Estimation of number of ever born children using zero truncated count model: evidence from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey.
Article in Health information science and systems, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Fertility is an important demographic indicator for any country and there has always been a concern for number of ever born children to know the transition of fertility pattern intensively. Child ever born is the count response variable ranges from 1 to 15 and was originally collected by the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) considering the reproductive women who had given at least one birth. This study proposes zero truncated Poisson and zero truncated negative binomial regression models in order to find the best fitted model to estimate number of ever born children using BDHS 2014 dataset. Findings reveal that, the number of children increases with the increment of respondent's age but number of children declines if education status of respondents as well as their husbands' increases. Similarly, religion, wealth index and wanted last child have significantly influenced the number of child ever born. Surprisingly, the number of children ever born to a mother from rural area does not differ significantly from that of urban area in Bangladesh, though there exists a little fluctuation in the number of children ever born to a mother living in seven administrative divisions. Intension of contraceptive use has no influence on number of ever born children to a mother.
