Consult and procedure incidence outcomes following establishment of a fertility preservation program for children with cancer.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeFertility is a quality of life outcome adversely affected by cancer therapy. Many childhood cancer patients, however, are not offered options to preserve their fertility. Providers acknowledge difficulty discussing impaired fertility to patients due to lack of knowledge of available options. Our objective was to review the impact of a pediatric multidisciplinary fertility preservation program on providers' fertility preservation counseling and discussion of options.
methodsA retrospective medical chart review was conducted for pediatric cancer patients prior to and following program establishment. Fertility preservation discussions, consults, and incidence were noted. Following filtering and stratification, 198 and 237 patients were seen prior to and following program establishment, respectively.
resultsFollowing program establishment, provider-patient discussions of impaired fertility (p = 0.007), fertility preservation consults (p = 0.01), and incidence of fertility preservation procedures (p < 0.001) increased among patients. Furthermore, the number of patients who received fertility preservation consults after receiving gonadotoxic treatment decreased (p < 0.001). This trend was particularly noted in pre-pubertal and female patients, for whom fertility preservation options are limited without an established program.
conclusionThe establishment of a formal program greatly improved access to fertility preservation consults and procedures in children with cancer.
