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
introductionSince 2017, women with absolute uterine infertility due to Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome have been eligible to participate in a uterine transplantation clinical trial conducted by Foch Hospital in France. The aim of this study is to assess the psychological state of potential candidates, including recipients, their partners, and their living-related donors. MATERIAL AND
methodsSixteen potential uterus transplant candidates, including recipients, partners, and living-related donors, participated in the study. The psychological evaluation of these candidates was conducted using three validated questionnaires: the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS-16), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Fertility Quality of Life (FertiQoL) questionnaire.
resultsNo depression symptoms were observed in any participant according to the HADS. Most recipients did not exhibit signs of anxiety; however, three partners and three donors reported moderate to high anxiety levels. A positive correlation was found between the recipient's psychological distress related to infertility (FertiQoL) and the anxiety scores of their donors. The emotional aspect of infertility was identified as the most distressing factor for the recipients.
conclusionsWhile the overall psychological state of the participants was generally good, anxiety was notably present among donors and partners. Therefore, providing psychological support throughout the uterine transplantation process is essential for not only the recipients but also their partners and donors.
