Impact of a Medical Career on Reproductive Planning and Knowledge of Assisted Reproductive Technology Among Brazilian Women.

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
objectiveTo determine whether women in the medical field have different reproductive plans compared to women in other areas of higher education. Also, to assess their knowledge of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and their interest in oocyte cryopreservation.
methodsThis cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted using an anonymous online questionnaire administered between November and December 2024. The study included Brazilian women who were nulliparous, had higher education, and were divided into two groups: the study group (medical students and physicians) and the comparison group (women from other higher education fields). The questionnaire covered sociodemographic data, lifestyle habits, professional trajectories, affective relationships, reproductive intentions, and knowledge about ART.
resultsA total of 905 women were included. The groups they were divided into had a similar age distribution. Most participants were aged between 18 and 29 years. The study group (n=490) reported higher income, greater levels of physical activity, and less smoking (p<0.0001). The impact of workload on relationship quality, academic plans, partner preferences, and perceived professional impact was more significant in the study group compared with controls (p<0.0001). They more frequently cited the demands of the medical profession as detrimental to their relationships. A higher proportion of women in this group planned to conceive later in life (61.8% vs. 34.1%; p<0.0001). Knowledge and acceptance of ART, especially oocyte cryopreservation, were significantly higher, with over 58% considering future use.
conclusionsA medical career greatly affects women's reproductive choices, resulting in delayed motherhood despite strong reproductive desires. Providing early access to fertility education and ART options could be a strategy to promote reproductive autonomy among women in medicine.
