Silent battles, global insights: anxiety and depression in the world of assisted reproduction.
Review 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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThis study aims to summarize and analyze the existing research on anxiety and depression within the field of assisted reproduction technology, exploring current hotspots, emerging frontiers, and trends, while offering insights for future research directions.
methodsRelevant literature on anxiety and depression among assisted reproduction patients was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection up to December 31, 2023. The analysis, encompassing studies, countries, authors, institutions, keywords, and co-citation networks, was visualized using VOSviewer version 1.6.19 and the "bibliometrix" R package version 4.3.1.
resultsA total of 1458 studies were included in the analysis. The literature on anxiety and depression in assisted reproduction patients has shown a fluctuating upward trend. Human Reproduction was identified as the leading journal, with the highest citations across multiple journals. Boivin J emerged as the most prolific author, with Cardiff University contributing the most publications. The USA and China led in terms of both publications and citations. Highly cited studies were predominantly published between 1995 and 2007, with half of the included studies published before 2000. Key research hotspots included evidence synthesis, acupuncture treatment for infertility, and the mental health of patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology, particularly focusing on anxiety and depression.
conclusionAs awareness of psychological health in assisted reproductive technology continues to grow, future research should focus on mitigating anxiety and depression to enhance patient outcomes and patient quality of life. Integrating psychological support and monitoring long-term psychological outcomes are crucial for optimizing assisted reproductive technology success and fostering holistic, patient-centered care.
