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
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the influences of stigma and HIV status on reproductive intention among heterosexual couples living with HIV in China.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in Kunming, China among 315 HIV-positive individuals and their spouses (n = 315 couples). An interview questionnaire was used to collect data on intention, desire, HIV Stigma Scale items, and HIV status. Dyadic fertility intention was examined using the actor-partner interdependence mediation model, based on the Traits-Desires-Intentions-Behavior framework.
resultsThe husbands' or wives' internalized stigma had significant negative effects on their own fertility desire (β = -0.149, p<0.05 and β = -0.238, p<0.01, respectively). HIV-positive status of the husbands was weakly linked to their own fertility intention (β = -0.181, p<0.05). Husbands' perceived provider stigma was associated with their own and their wives' fertility intention via the mediating effect of their fertility desire (β = -0.374, p<0.001 and β = -0.203, p<0.01, respectively). The cumulative influence of their reproductive desire mediated the husband's perceived provider stigma and the wife's internalized stigma on their fertility intention.
conclusionsStigma and HIV status were associated with fertility intention among couples living with HIV, mediated by fertility desire. The high intra-couple correlation suggested that counseling should be conducted when both spouses are present together with extensive discussions on concerns regarding HIV-related stigma, potential discrepancies between each partner's fertility desire and intention, and the influence of one partner on the other.
