Fertility preservation from the point of view of hematopoietic cell transplant specialists-a worldwide-web-based survey analysis.
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
With the increase in cancer survival, men and women have a chance to conceive children post-recovery. This study aims to better understand hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) specialist practices and opinions related to fertility preservation for hematological malignancy patients. Survey requests were emailed to 586 European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) members. Respondents completed the mostly multiple-choice questionnaire on the IVF-Worldwide.com website. Results were reported as a percentage of respondents. Responses were submitted by 150 HCT specialists from 41 (of 195) countries worldwide. The survey showed that most HCT specialists (87%) are aware of and inform patients that chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and transplantation could harm fertility. Specialists referred 56% of their male patients to fertility preservation but only 36% of their female patients; many pre-pubertal or near post-menopausal patients were not referred. This indicates that barriers may be preventing specialists from referring patients for fertility preservation. Many HCT specialists do not know about or use international fertility preservation recommendations, indicating that new protocols for enhancing awareness are needed. Establishing a referral process protocol to reproductive specialists should be considered. When non-urgent treatment can be deferred for 10-20 days, patients can have a sufficient window to undergo certain fertility preservation procedures.
