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

The current pandemic due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has forced physicians to review their current clinical practice and guidelines. Although elective procedures using assisted reproductive technologies (ART) should be preferably canceled or postponed at this time, this does not always apply to urgent procedures such as those in patients with cancer. A complete oncofertility counseling balancing the benefits and risks of undergoing fertility preservation before commencing gonadotoxic therapies (chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy) should also be provided during the COVID-19 outbreak. This article briefly highlights what patients, oncologists and fertility specialists need to keep in mind during oncofertility counseling at the time of the COVID-19 outbreak.
