The impact of spillover and crossover effects of job stressors on pregnancy rates in couples undergoing in vitro fertilization treatments.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeStudies have shown mixed findings regarding the impact of stress on the success of fertility treatments. To the best of our knowledge, stress in the context of the workplace has not been investigated to date in relation to the success of fertility treatments. This research investigates the impact of work-related stress and emotional exhaustion experienced by both partners on in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment outcomes.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study that included 44 heterosexual couples (N = 88) in which both partners filled out the research questionnaire. The couples were recruited in a hospital IVF unit in the center of Israel.
resultsWomen's job-related stress and emotional exhaustion lowered their chances of achieving pregnancy when undergoing IVF treatments. Moreover, when partners' emotional exhaustion was relatively low, the job-related stress of women did not affect pregnancy outcomes.
conclusionThis is the first study to explore whether job-related stressors of both partners may have an impact on success rates of IVF treatments. We propose some practical implications as to how to eradicate their negative impact on IVF outcomes.
