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

As postponement of first births continues in the United States, women and couples will likely continue to turn to assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to overcome biological barriers to childbearing. This paper uses stochastic projections to estimate the potential impacts of ART on the US total fertility rate (TFR) overall and across sociodemographic groups using publicly available data. Assuming the trends in ART continue and the TFR remains at the mean estimate, the projection shows the ART TFR will rise from 0.023 accounting for 1.29% of the mean projected TFR in 2020 to 0.048 or 2.64% of the TFR by 2040. However, for the TFR of women over 30, this percentage is estimated at 2.68% in 2020 and 5.60% by 2040. Group-level projections quantify stratification by parity, race, and education assuming trends across these groups continue. Overall, the results show that if current trends continue, growth in demand for ART will likely increase, especially at older maternal ages, even as inequalities by race and social class remain. These projections provide a picture of ART births if inequality in access and outcomes is not addressed and highlight the need for attention to policies that address these disparities.
