Prenatal Testing and Pregnancy Termination Among Muslim Women Living in Israel Who Have Given Birth to a Child with a Genetic Disease.
Article in Journal of religion and health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The aim of the study was to investigate whether a Muslim woman with a child afflicted with a genetic disease who is living at home would perform more prenatal tests and pregnancy terminations as opposed to a woman with a normal child living at home, and what demographic characteristics, if any, influenced this decision. The study included 771 Muslim women; 37.1% lived with a child afflicted with a genetic disease; and 62.9% did not. Muslim women with a child affected with a genetic disease living at home will undergo more prenatal testing and more pregnancy terminations. Village dwellers were more religious and consulted further with a religious authority. More city dwellers underwent prenatal tests and pregnancy terminations and received more health care and genetic counseling. In the villages populated by Muslims, more genetic counselling must be given, accompanied by guidance from religious Muslim authorities.
