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

The aim of this study is the investigation of attitudes and perceptions toward surrogacy in general public. More extensively, the degree of acceptance and intention to use surrogacy, the perceived attitude of society toward surrogacy, the attitudes and perceptions of the role of the surrogate mother, and the perceptions of the relationship the child should have with the surrogate mother, as well as the perceptions of the influence of surrogate motherhood on the parents' relationship with the child, are examined. In addition, factors influencing the formation of attitudes and perceptions in each of the aforementioned aspects of surrogacy are examined.Total acceptance of surrogacy found high. Positive attitudes found in all other divisions of surrogacy. Higher knowledge of Artificial Reproduction Technologies contributes to more positive attitudes about surrogacy. Married and infertile people tend to have more positive attitudes on surrogacy. Religiousness tends to shape less positive attitudes on surrogacy. Finally, marital status found to have an effect on disclosure of surrogacy.
