Patient perceptions and understanding of treatment instructions for ovarian stimulation during infertility treatment.
Article in Reproductive biomedicine & society online, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The impact of patient-physician communication and levels of understanding of treatment on patient knowledge and compliance has been studied in patients undergoing their first cycle of infertility treatment. This observational, real-life, longitudinal study involved 488 patients from 28 infertility centres in France. Data on communication quality, understanding of treatment instructions, patient knowledge and compliance to treatment protocol were collected through questionnaires administered before treatment initiation (V1) and at oocyte retrieval (V2). At V1, patients were very satisfied with their levels of understanding of the injection and monitoring schedules, the information given by the medical team, and the way of receiving instructions, with average ratings on a scale of 0-100% of > 75%. They rated their understanding of possible treatment side-effects as satisfactory (average score 71.1%). Gaps in patient knowledge about their treatment, revealed by discrepancies between physician and patient reports, were observed in 20.5% of patients (
