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
Background: With the advancements in fertility preservation technology, such as egg freezing, women could now preserve their gametes for potential future parenthood. It is important to explore how the needs of women are addressed and supported throughout the egg-freezing process. By investigating the experiences of research participants, we aimed to identify how reproductive rights are interpreted for egg-freezing applicants in Iranian infertility centers. Methods: In this qualitative study, 16 service providers and 5 egg-freezing applicants in infertility treatment centers in Iran were interviewed. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. All interviews were recorded and after transcription, conventional qualitative content analysis was used for data analysis. Results: Issues related to specific requirements for evaluating the reproductive rights of egg-freezing applicants included the following: the right to preserve fertility, the right to access psychological support services,the right to decide the fate of the oocyte, the right to trust and privacy, and the right to one's own body. Conclusion: Women had the right to decide the fate of their eggs and choose to preserve them for future uses. Service providers played a role by offering comprehensive information about the egg-freezing process, considering applicants' requests, and offering psychological support to those interested. It seemed, trusting and using this emerging technology, users can protect their reproductive rights by preventing infertility in the future.
