Determinants of fertility intentions in a low-fertility region of Central Europe: a cross-sectional survey of 1,092 respondents in the Greater Poland Voivodeship.

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
Persistent below-replacement fertility and accelerated population ageing now drive much of the public health agenda in Europe, with measurable consequences for perinatal services and long-term care demand. Aggregate-level data document these trends well; individual-level determinants of fertility intentions in Central European low-fertility settings remain less well characterised. We carried out a cross-sectional online survey in the Greater Poland Voivodeship of Poland between March 2023 and March 2024, recruiting through mixed online channels. The instrument covered demographic, socioeconomic, residential, normative and behavioural domains, including a 10-item Likert scale on perceived barriers to childbearing. The primary outcome was the desired number of children "regardless of existing barriers." Associations were assessed using Spearman correlation, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests, and proportional-odds ordinal logistic regression; perceived barriers were summarised by exploratory factor analysis. The sample comprised 1,092 respondents aged 18 to over 40 years, recruited across the rural-urban gradient. The mean desired number of children was 1.84 (SD 1.09); 14.8% wanted no children, while 22.9% wanted three or more. In adjusted ordinal logistic regression, religion influencing family decisions (OR = 2.39; 95% CI 1.75-3.27;
