1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study aimed to analyze the current status of women's perception of social support levels, psychological resilience, anxiety, and depression levels during IVF-ET, as well as investigate the influence of perceived social support and psychological resilience on the anxiety and depression levels of women undergoing IVF-ET and the mediating role of psychological resilience in this process.

methodsIn this study, a convenience sampling method was used to administer a questionnaire survey among 433 women undergoing IVF-ET. Then, multivariate linear regression models were applied to identify factors influencing anxiety and depression. Lastly, mediation effect analysis was conducted to explore the mediating role of psychological resilience.

resultsThe incidence of anxiety and depression was 42% and 46.4%, respectively. The mean score of the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) indicated a high to moderate level of support, while the mean score of the Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) suggested moderate psychological resilience. Perceived social support was positively correlated with psychological resilience, and both were negatively correlated with anxiety and depression. Perceived social support and psychological resilience were identified as influencing factors of anxiety and depression (P < 0.001). Moreover, there was a partial mediating effect of psychological resilience between perceived social support and both anxiety and depression (P < 0.01).

conclusionsThese results highlight the need for healthcare providers to assess patients' levels of psychological resilience and perceived social support when developing mental health interventions in order to mitigate the risk of anxiety and depression and concomitantly enhance fertility outcomes.
