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 growing social problem, and health literacy is one of the factors that affects infertility, thereby affecting life quality. On the other hand, lifestyle factors exert a considerable impact on reproductive capacity and general health. Against this backdrop, this study aims to determine health literacy, general health, and lifestyle in infertile people in Zahedan, Iran. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 86 male and 181 female participants who referred to Molod Infertility center (AliIbnAbiTalib Hospital) in Zahedan were randomly selected. Health Literacy Standard Questionnaires (HELIA), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), and the Miller-Smith Lifestyle Assessment Inventory (LSI) were used to collect data. In addition, data were analyzed by SPSS V.22. Results: The participants' mean age was 30.87±7.5. Besides, 39% and 70% of the participations did not have enough health literacy and had a moderate lifestyle, respectively. In addition, the general health of 68.9% was exposed to damage. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between the three aforementioned factors, with the participants of higher levels of health literacy having had higher levels of general health and lifestyle. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, the infertile people's health literacy was not enough, and most of them had a moderate lifestyle. In addition, their general health was exposed to damage in most cases. Thus, it is necessary to pay attention to providing proper education and health services to infertile men and women to improve their level of health literacy and healthy fertility in order to support childbearing in the society.
