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

objectivesThe present study was designed to examine the attitudes towards oocyte cryopreservation among healthcare providers working in hospitals across specialties and potential influencing factors.

designA cross-sectional study.

settingThe questionnaire was distributed among Chinese healthcare providers via the Credamo platform.

participantsThere were 877 respondents recruited from 8 April to 8 May 2022, among whom 160 were identified as unqualified because of inconsistency between the IP and work addresses. OUTCOME MEASURES: Individual attitudes towards oocyte cryopreservation under four different settings, familiarity with oocyte cryopreservation and perceived risks about oocyte cryopreservation of healthcare providers were measured using a self-designed questionnaire.

resultsThere were 877 respondents recruited, and 717 were identified as qualified respondents. Two latent classes of healthcare providers characterised by different attitudes towards oocyte cryopreservation under four different settings were identified, the supportive and reluctant. Familiarity with oocyte cryopreservation had a significant direct effect on perceived risks, with better familiarity predicting lower perceived risks (

conclusionsThe majority of healthcare providers held a reluctant attitude towards oocyte cryopreservation of unmarried women for non-medical reasons, which might relate to their worries about the risks to offspring's health and lack of knowledge about a reproductive technique.
