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
objectiveThis study explored the emotional state and decision perceptions of fertility preservation (FP) decisions of male and female cancer patients undergoing FP.
settingObstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University.
methodAll patients with a cancer diagnosis were referred by their physician to contact a fertility preservation specialist for FP plan discussion. After FP counseling, participants completed sociodemographic and basic information surveys and validated psychological and decisional scales.
resultsThe final sample included 17 male and 16 female cancer FP patients. Overall, 85% of participants reported currently undergoing moderate to severe depression and anxiety states. Sex differences were found in both depression and anxiety states (P < 0.05). Both genders demonstrated a low level of regret in the decision to preserve fertility, indicating that participants felt they had made the right decision. However, there displayed decisional conflict, suggesting that cancer patients felt high conflict when making decisions.
conclusionIn conclusion, there is a nonnegligible emotional burden on FP patients who have already undergone a painful situation before the start of oncological treatment. This is the first study to use validated DRS to examine emotional problems occurring in both men and women during FP decision-making.
