Psychometric Measurement of Fertility-related Quality of Life across Gender in Primary Infertile Couples.
Article in Journal of human reproductive sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Infertility is a crucial global public health issue that affects millions of people of reproductive age. Fertility-related stress can negatively impact infertile couples' quality of life (QoL). Aims: This study aimed to assess and compare the psychometric properties of fertility QoL between primary infertile couples' male and female partners. Settings and Design: This cross-sectional study included 114 primary infertile couples visiting the Andrology Laboratory referred from the Gynaecology and Obstetrics Department, AIIMS, Patna. Materials and Methods: Data were collected using the Fertility QoL (FertiQoL) tool, an internationally validated questionnaire to measure the reproductive QoL, demographic information and medical history. The FertiQoL questionnaire responses were recorded and analysed. Statistical Analyses Used: Statistical analyses used were performed using the SPSS 20.0 version. Descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Cronbach's alpha and Student's independent Results: In our study, the overall estimated Cronbach's α was 0.83, and males had a significantly better fertility-related QoL in all domains of the FertiQoL, such as emotional ( Conclusion: Amongst infertile couples, the reproductive QoL was poorer in females than in males. Our study suggests psychological counselling and mental support for females during infertility management.
