A harmonized dataset of education- and age-specific fertility rates for DHS countries.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Education and fertility levels of individuals and communities are closely interlinked. Education-specific fertility rates are useful to understand how differences in educational attainment influence reproductive behaviour. These estimates also serve as foundations for designing and developing population projections under varying education and fertility scenarios. However, consistent series of historical education- and age-specific fertility rates are rarely available outside countries with strong vital registration systems. Here, we estimate education- and age-specific fertility rates for 78 countries within the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) database, spanning the period from 1970 to 2020, in five-year intervals. Using a Bayesian approach, we combine data from multiple sources to estimate UN-consistent education- and age-specific fertility rates.
