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
objectiveWomen undergoing assisted reproductive technology treatment, are often anxious and depressed because of their fertility problem and the uncertainties of the treatment with which they have to deal. On the other hand, recent studies have shown that the effects of psychological distress on the IVF treatment outcome is unclear. This study aimed to examine the effects of anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms before IVF treatment on the clinical pregnancy rate, controlling for known confounders.
resultsIn total, 142 women undergoing IVF treatment participated in this prospective study. The clinical pregnancy rate was 26.8% in this study. Controlling for age, infertility duration, and cause of infertility, there were no relationship between IVF outcome and anxiety (relative risk (RR) = 1.00; 95% CI 0.91-1.09), depression (RR = 0.96; 95% CI 0.88-1.05), and stress (RR = 1.01; 95% CI 0.96-1.07) symptoms. High woman's age and women with both cause of infertility were independent predictors of IVF clinical pregnancy rate. In sum, we found that anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms were not associated with the IVF clinical pregnancy rate.
