Gravidity and Fertility Desires of Female Cancer Survivors and Age-Matched Controls: Using the National Survey of Family Growth.
Article in Journal of adolescent and young adult oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis study analyzes differences in gravidity, fertility desires, and fertility treatment utilization among female cancer survivors relative to age-matched female controls with no history of cancer.
methodsThis cross-sectional study utilized four data sets from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) ranging from 2011 to 2019. Out of 16,172 participants, 310 cancer survivors and 620 age-matched controls were identified. Secondary analysis assessed subgroups of survivors based on age at diagnosis, categorizing those diagnosed at age less than 20 years old as childhood cancer survivors (CCSs). Statistical analysis involved frequencies (%), chi-square tests, and logistic regression models to compare reproductive history, fertility desires, and treatments sought among groups.
resultsThere was no significant difference in gravidity between female cancer survivors and age-matched controls. Gravid CCSs were more likely to want a/nother baby than gravid controls (
conclusionOverall rates of gravidity are similar between female cancer survivors and non-survivors. However, there are differences in CCSs' desires for fertility. These findings emphasize the importance of thorough fertility preservation counseling and proactive consideration of fertility desires from the time of diagnosis through survivorship (particularly, for women diagnosed in childhood).
