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

Background: Infertility is on the rise across the India. We aim to asses fertility awareness scores in Indian population and factors influencing it. Prospective cross sectional study. Materials and Methods: The sub fertile women who attended OPD and consented for interview were given a questionnaire. The questions contained 14 questions on natural fertility factors (6 questions), risk factors for infertility (3 questions), and regarding treatment and misconceptions related to infertility (5 questions). The total scores were calculated. Scores were correlated with source of information, Socioeconomic status and other demographic factors. Standard deviation or mean were used for Quantitative variables. Categorical data, was analysed using Pearson's Chi-square test. Results: A total of 209 women participated in the study. The overall Fertility Awareness level was good in 82 (39.2%) and poor in 127 (60.8%) study participants. The scores were better in urban and younger than thirty. There was positive linear association with education status of the women ( Conclusion: There is poor awareness about sub fertility causes and available treatment options in Indian population. The people who contact medical personnel timely for it are better aware. There is a need to integrate fertility knowledge in education system and government programmes.
