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
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze the psychosocial characteristics of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) couples and normal couples, and to identify the influencing factors of psychological characteristics and pregnancy outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were 260 infertile couples undergoing IVF-ET and 277 healthy couples of childbearing age in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University recruited into 2 groups. Psychosocial characteristics were compared to analyze the influencing factors of pregnancy outcomes after IVF-ET. In-depth interviews (n=11) and infertility-related forum posts (n=12) were adopted to obtain the data related to the psychological experience and adjustment. Nvivo 11 software was utilized to collect and analyze the data. RESULTS The levels of anxiety and depression in the IVF-ET group were significantly higher (both P<0.01), the total scores of marital quality scale and social support scale were significantly lower (both P<0.05), immature defense mechanism score was significantly higher (P<0.05), and mature defense mechanism score (P<0.05) was significantly lower than those in the control group. Bod mass index (BMI), family's rural residence, marital quality, and immature and mature defense mechanisms were influencing factors of depression in IVF-ET female patients (all P<0.05). Marital quality, mature and immature defense mechanisms, concealment factors, and Harm Avoidance (HA) score were influencing factors of depression in IVF-ET males (all P<0.05). The age of the female patient was an independent influencing factor of IVF-ET pregnancy success rate (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The mental health levels of IVF-ET patients were worse than those of fertile couples. The younger the female infertile patient, the higher pregnancy rate of IVF-ET.
