Stepwise or couple antenatal carrier screening for cystic fibrosis?: women's preferences and willingness to pay.
Article in Journal of medical genetics, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Several antenatal cystic fibrosis carrier screening trials have offered women testing by either the stepwise or the couple method. In this study, both approaches were described to women attending an antenatal clinic, who were then asked which method they preferred. An estimate of the value to women of each type of test was also ascertained using a "willingness to pay" (WTP) method. Of 450 women, 279 (62%) preferred stepwise screening, 117 (26%) preferred couple screening, and 54 (12%) had no preference. Mean WTP for stepwise screening was 19 pounds (95% CI 17.50 pounds-20.50 pounds), and that for couple screening was 18 pounds (95% CI 16.50 pounds-19.50 pounds). The majority of women preferred stepwise screening although the average WTP for each method was similar.
