An Update on Planned Oocyte Cryopreservation (POC) in Italy: Medical, Epidemiological and Legal Consideration.
Review in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Starting with a brief socioeconomic analysis of the phenomenon of female fertility, this narrative review aims to provide an analysis of the use and possibilities of medically assisted reproductive technology in combating fertility issues, adopting socioeconomic, legal and medical perspectives in Italy. The authors mainly employ data from the annual reports of the National Registry of Medically Assisted Reproduction (PMA Registry) and the Italian Statistical Institute (ISTAT) to understand the evolution of oocyte use in medically assisted reproductive technology in Italy from 2015 to 2018 and in particular to dissect the possibilities of oocyte cryopreservation as a measure to counteract age-related infertility, specifically through Planned Oocyte Cryopreservation (POC), also known as "social freezing". It seems that the best course of action in the context of medically assisted reproduction would be the use of young and healthy cryopreserved oocytes (autologous or donated), preferably before the age of 40, while encouraging donation of oocytes whenever possible. Italy's dependence on foreign biobanks for donated oocytes calls for the institution of a national biobank and further specific regulation of gamete donation. For this reason, it would be useful to encourage the acceptance of Planned Oocyte Cryopreservation to allow greater availability of healthy, younger oocytes.
