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

•Ensuring data quality in large scale surveys is challenging.•The trend and pattern of declining fertility and declining contraceptive use in India is puzzling.•Interview privacy setting and interviewer effect can partially explain the anomaly.•Large scale surveys impose severe demands on survey supervision and ability to ensure privacy.•Innovative ways of data collection for sensitive issues can be explored for proper reporting.
