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: Fertility preservation (FP) enables individuals to maintain future reproductive potential, yet population-level data on FP awareness and willingness remain limited in inland China. Previous studies have been largely descriptive without quantifying the population-level impact of modifiable determinants. This study identified independent predictors of FP awareness and willingness among college students and the general population in Henan Province, central China, and estimated the population attributable fraction (PAF) of key modifiable factors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted (May-October 2022) using stratified sampling among college students ( Results: Among college students, FP awareness was 21.1% and willingness 65.3%. Knowledge score was the sole independent predictor of FP awareness (aOR = 2.22, 95%CI: 1.92-2.56; PAF = 62.8%). FP willingness was independently associated with medical major (aOR = 1.62, Conclusion: Knowledge is the primary modifiable predictor of FP awareness and willingness with substantial population-level impact. If confirmed in longitudinal studies, knowledge-centered educational strategies prioritizing non-medical populations, unmarried individuals, and rural residents may substantially reduce current awareness and willingness gaps.
