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: Stigma is among the most prevalent and disturbing consequences of being infertile among women, yet it remains unknown whether fertility stigma is affected by irrational parenthood cognitions (IPC). The current study aimed to assess IPC, infertility stigma, and their interrelationship among a group of Chinese women referred to an infertility center in Changsha, Hunan, China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 376 women seeking treatment for infertility in Changsha City, China. Pearson correlation test was used to explore the association between IPC and infertility stigma, while multivariate linear regression was used to explore the independent influencing factors of infertility stigma. Results: Participants had a mean score of 42.41 ± 13.03 for IPC and 62.89 ± 24.50 for ISS. IPC was highly correlated with infertility stigma with a large effect size ( Conclusion: This study is the first to identify a positive association between irrational parenthood cognitions and infertility stigma among infertile women in China. Our findings provide useful guidance for the future development of effective anti-stigma intervention programs among infertile women.
