1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

aimThe interest in oocyte cryopreservation (OC) for nonmedically indicated reasons is increasing. Knowing women's beliefs and knowledge from various geographic regions could help providers to understand the similarities and differences that could facilitate proper counseling. MATERIALS &

methodsArticles about social egg freezing published over the past 18 years were extracted from the literature.

resultsWe demonstrated that there are common rationales toward OC among women in the USA and other countries. The ultimate goal was to prolong fertility. The most commonly reported reasons were aging, lack of partner, career and financial status.

conclusionThe beliefs and rationales toward elective OC among women in the USA and other countries are consistent.
