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 regulation and reform of surrogacy law will inevitably have an impact on the system of birth registration and the content of birth certificates. This Commentary considers deliberations around reform in Ireland, the UK and Australia, where different approaches have been adopted. In Ireland, for example, a surrogacy certificate has been proposed that will not reference the fact that the child was born as a result of surrogacy. Meanwhile, in the UK, it is proposed that the full birth certificate will record that it was a surrogate birth but will not record the identity of the surrogate. In Australia, a review of the role of states and territories regulating surrogacy has emphasized that not enough information is being recorded on birth certificates to safeguard children's rights. I conclude that it is time to assess the purpose of a birth certificate and consider its role in realizing the child's rights to birth registration and to identity under international human rights law.
