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
purposeSouth Korea currently has the lowest fertility rate among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, with a total fertility rate of less than one child per woman. This study explored the factors influencing future fertility intentions (FFI) among Korean women of childbearing age.
methodsUsing a cross-sectional design, we analyzed data from the 2022 Survey on Low Birth Policy Demand in Seoul, conducted by the Seoul Women and Family Foundation. This study focused on women of childbearing age. Bivariate analyses and a multivariate logistic regression model were employed to investigate the FFI rate and its associated factors.
resultsThe observed overall FFI rate among Korean women of childbearing age was 25.6%, with rates of 27.9% among unmarried women, and 22.0% among married women. Factors associated with FFI included education level, employment status, weekly working hours, number of children, age at first sexual education, monthly income, and perspectives on marriage, childbearing, and gender inequality. High FFI rates were noted among self-employed individuals (33.3%); those who received sexual education in adulthood (48.6%), those who believed in having children after marriage (44.0%), those who thought children strengthen relationships (32.5%), and those who perceived gender equality in family or workplace culture (31.7%).
conclusionThis study assessed the FFI rate among Korean women of childbearing age, identifying the sociodemographic characteristics and perspectives on marriage, childbearing, and gender inequality that influence it. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and nurses to engage with women and increase birth rates in Seoul and throughout South Korea.
