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
purposeThis study examined intention to undergo elective oocyte cryopreservation (EOC) among unmarried nurses younger than 40 years and identified factors associated with EOC intention.
methodsThis descriptive correlational study used a cross-sectional survey design and was conducted from September 12 to September 30, 2025 at a tertiary hospital in Busan, South Korea. The participants were 159 unmarried nurses. Attitudes toward EOC, procedural burden, ethical concerns, health-related concerns, and EOC knowledge were measured using a modified Fertility Preservation Survey. EOC intentions were assessed using a visual analog scale. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analyses were performed.
resultsParticipants reported a moderate level of EOC intention. EOC intention differed significantly by age, with nurses in their 20s reporting higher scores than those in their 30s (t=3.19, p=.002). EOC intention was positively correlated with attitudes toward EOC (r=.53, p<.001) and negatively correlated with health-related concerns (r=-.26, p=.001). In multiple linear regression analysis, greater EOC intention was significantly associated with more positive attitudes toward EOC (β=.47, p<.001), lower health-related concerns (β=-.23, p=.003), and younger age (β=-.21, p=.009). The model explained 32.0% of the variance.
conclusionEarly, evidence-based education and counseling that strengthen positive attitudes toward EOC and directly address health-related concerns may help unmarried nurses make informed reproductive decisions.
