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

Objective: Assess the knowledge of young adults regarding modifiable risk factors of infertility. Design: Web-based validated survey. Setting: University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). Subjects: Undergraduate students at the UNR. Interventions: A survey encompassing participants' demographics, understanding of infertility risk factors, willingness to modify behaviors to prevent infertility, personal significance of fertility, previous sources for fertility knowledge, and preferred sources for fertility education. Main Outcome Measures: Subject-reported knowledge of modifiable risk factors for infertility and value of fertility. Results: A total of 427 individuals responded. Thirty-seven percent of females indicated that oral contraceptive pills negatively impact their future fertility and 34.4% were unsure. Regarding prior use of long-acting reversible contraceptives on future fertility, 31.4% of females believed it had a negative impact and 36.9% were unsure of its impact. Only 21.7% of males thought testosterone had a negative impact on fertility. Participants were significantly more likely to avoid certain modifiable risk factors to prevent infertility than they were to avoid excessive alcohol to prevent liver disease ( Conclusions: Young adults would benefit from and are interested in a better understanding of their fertility and modifiable risk factors for infertility. Obstetrics and gynecology physicians and primary care providers can use these findings to guide education and address misconceptions.
