The Effect of Couples Coping Enhancement Counseling on Stress and Dyadic Coping on Infertile Couples: A Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial Study.
Trial report in International journal of fertility & sterility, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the effect of couples coping enhancement counseling (CCEC) on stress and dyadic coping of infertile couples. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this parallel randomized controlled trial study in 2020, seventy infertile couples were randomly divided into case and control groups. The intervention was performed in 7 sessions of couple counseling based on CCEC for the intervention group, no intervention was performed in the control group. Fertility Problem Inventory, Dyadic Coping Inventory and demographics questionnaires were completed by both couples separately before the intervention and 4 weeks after the last consultation session. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS statistics 24 and statistical tests such as mean ± SD, frequency, percentage, Independent t test, Mann-Whitney test, Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test and Analysis of covariance. Significant level was considered less than 0.05.
resultsThe mean stress scores of women in the intervention group before and after intervention decreased from (156.83 ± 23.57) to (139.43 ± 22.39) and the mean scores of dyadic coping increased from (126.83 ± 19.89) to (138.26 ± 16.92), these differences were statistically significant (P<0.001), also the mean stress scores of men in the intervention group before and after the intervention decreased from (143.80 ± 23.40) to (128.03 ± 22.24), the mean scores of dyadic coping increased (131.34 ± 20.67) to (136.40 ± 19.38), these differences were statistically significant (P<0.001).
conclusionPositive effects of CCEC were observed in reducing infertility stress and increasing dyadic coping in both women and men after the intervention, the effect of the intervention on women was greater than that of men. As a result, this intervention can play an important role in reducing stress and increasing the solidarity and support of infertile couples for infertility treatments (registration number: IRCT20120215009014N367).
