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
backgroundReproductive motivation is a complex issue that has cultural, behavioral, and ideological roots and changes in the context of population transfer and economic and social development. Reproductive motivations include positive and negative motivations that can be influenced by education. Training can be done in different ways. It seems that face-to-face training increases learning. On the other hand, face-to-face training increases participants' cooperation and desire for educational topics. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare and determine the effect of two counseling methods on the fertility motivation of infertile couples. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis intervention study was performed on 68 men and women with infertility referring to Milad Infertility Center in Mashhad in 2016-2017. Subjects were randomly assigned to two methods of counseling. Participants completed written consent to participate in the study. Infertile couples were included in the study if they met the inclusion criteria. The fertility motivation questionnaire was completed by the participants at the beginning of the study before the consultation and 2 weeks after the consultation. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS Software Version 16.
resultsAccording to the independent
conclusionThe results of this study showed that face-to-face and telephone counseling did not have a significant effect on fertility motivations of infertile couples. In other words, the mean scores of positive and negative fertility motivations before and after counseling remained unchanged in both groups and the two groups did not differ in this regard. In other words, the issue of fertility motivation in infertile women can be affected by different characteristics such as social, family, cultural, and economic conditions of individuals. If infertile people do not make having a child a necessity in their lives and cope with it more easily, no counseling can change their motivation. On the other hand, if infertile women consider having a child as an essential part of their married life and the health of their married life, counseling can have the greatest effect on them.
