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

Racialized economic segregation is a known determinant of health disparities that has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, no study has investigated its association with fecundability, the per-cycle probability of conception. We analyzed data from 10,438 U.S. participants enrolled in Pregnancy Study Online (2013-2022), an internet-based preconception cohort study. Eligible participants were aged 21-45 years, assigned female at birth, and trying to conceive without fertility treatment use. Using baseline residential addresses, we calculated segregation based on the Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE) from the American Community Survey 5-year estimates. ICE ranges from -1 ("disadvantaged") to 1 ("privileged"). We operationalized ICE metrics at the census tract level: economic segregation (ICE
