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

This research employs network psychometrics to elucidate the connection between religiosity and the meanings ascribed to in vitro fertilisation (IVF), using a representative sample of Polish Roman Catholics (N=874). Although Poland is known as a country with high indicators of religiosity, studies show that Polish Roman Catholics generally hold positive or neutral views of IVF. Of particular significance is the emergence of "sin" as the central node within the network of meanings associated with IVF. Furthermore, "artificial fertilisation" surfaces as a particularly ambiguous meaning. Beyond its scientific contribution, this article offers practical implications for shaping health policy pertaining to IVF.
