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

In the U.S., fertility intentions have declined overall and across immigrant generations. This study explored fertility intentions and the role of immigration status among undocumented immigrants using data from a mixed-methods survey of 120 Asian and Latinx undocumented immigrants in California conducted in 2022. Overall, 57% of participants intended to have children. Additionally, 38% of participants indicated that their immigration status impacted their fertility intentions, and described connections through economic precarity and fear of deportation. This study adds to prior qualitative literature further demonstrating that undocumented immigrants face barriers to having children and many do not intend to have children.
