Fertility Attitudes of Adolescents and Young Adults With Turner Syndrome and Their Parents/Guardians: A Pilot Cross-Sectional Survey Study.
Article in Journal of pediatric and adolescent gynecology, 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
STUDY
objectiveTo compare differences in attitudes between adolescents and young adults with Turner syndrome (AYA with TS) and their parents regarding future fertility and fertility preservation.
design(1) FertilityConcepTS survey development with a 2-staged Delphi procedure. (2) Cross-sectional survey study.
setting(1) Web-based focus groups. (2) Survey dissemination during the multidisciplinary Turner syndrome clinic at a tertiary care children's hospital and via the social media platform of the Turner Syndrome Global Alliance.
participantsMembers of the Turner syndrome community.
main outcome measuresAttitudes about (1) Interest in understanding the effects of TS on fertility and pregnancy, (2) Opinions of having children that are genetically similar, (3) Alternative methods of building a family, and (4) Medical/surgical fertility preservation procedures with unknown outcomes.
resultsTwenty-eight participants were included in the analysis. The median age of AYA with TS was 17.5 (IQR: 10.5) years, and of parents was 48.0 (IQR: 9.3) years. AYA with TS and their parents differed in their consideration for adoption (p = .005), use of donor egg (p < .001), use of a gestational carrier (p < .001) and raising a child as a single parent (p = .002). Although all parents agreed/strongly agreed with oocyte cryopreservation (OC) and ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC), 18.8% and 43.8%, of AYA with TS, respectively, disagreed/strongly disagreed with OC (p = .042) and OTC (p = .021).
conclusionsIn this pilot study, AYA with TS and their parents have differing attitudes about fertility and fertility preservation. Counselling should include consideration of the needs of AYA with TS alongside parent priorities.
