The psychological impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on women who become pregnant after receiving treatment for infertility: a longitudinal study.
Article in F&S reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo compare the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the psychological health of patients with infertility who have become pregnant with that of women who have not.
designProspective cohort study conducted from April 2020 to June 2020. The participants completed three questionnaires over this period.
settingA single large, university-affiliated infertility practice. PATIENTS: A total of 443 pregnant women and 1,476 women still experiencing infertility who completed all three questionnaires.
interventionsNone.
main outcome measuresPatient-reported primary stressor over three months of the first major COVID-19 surge; further data on self-reported sadness, anxiety, loneliness, and the use of personal coping strategies.
resultsPregnant participants were significantly less likely to report taking an antidepressant or anxiolytic medication, were less likely to have a prior diagnosis of depression, were more likely to cite COVID-19 as a top stressor, and overall were less likely to practice stress-relieving activities during the first surge.
conclusionsWomen who became pregnant after receiving treatment for infertility cited the pandemic as their top stressor and were more distressed about the pandemic than their nonpregnant counterparts but were less likely to be engaging in stress-relieving activities. Given the ongoing impact of the pandemic, patients with infertility who become pregnant after receiving treatment should be counseled and encouraged to practice specific stress-reduction strategies.
