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

backgroundThe main barrier for an appropriate primary management of the reproductive health was lack of knowledge about the risk factors and prevention measures for infertility and the main recommendations was to involve primary care physicians in reproductive health.

aimsTo reach a consensus around barriers and enablers for appropriate primary management of the reproductive health.

methodsAn observational study was performed using the modified Delphi technique, from October 2017 to April 2018 in private and public assisted reproduction clinics in Spain. A questionnaire consisted of 58 items, divided into four blocks to explore consensus among a group of experts by synthesizing opinions.

resultsIn the first Delphi round, the response rate was 50% and panelists reached a 72.4% of consensus. In second round, the response rate was 55% and panelists reached a 25% of consensus. To minimize limitations related to the use of a structured questionnaire, a space for free text responses was provided. The following items yielded unanimous agreement: "It is necessary to promote reproductive planning-not just contraception-from secondary school," "The media should not trivialize pregnancies in women aged over 50," "Postponing family formation is the main cause of the increase in assisted reproduction treatments in Spain," and "Postponing motherhood implies an inherently decreased probability of having children."

conclusionsThese recommendations could set the basis for a public health action plan for primary management of reproductive health. The findings may be applicable to any country whose health services system provides primary healthcare.
