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 aimed to investigate the status and influencing factors of perceived stress in men before sperm collection on the day of oocyte retrieval during IVF-ET, thereby providing a theoretical basis for nursing interventions.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted using convenience sampling. We examined 507 male IVF-ET patients undergoing sperm collection using a demographic questionnaire, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Univariate analysis, Pearson correlation, and multivariate linear regression were utilized to identify factors affecting perceived stress before sperm collection.
resultsThe average score for perceived stress before sperm collection was 14.64 ± 4.54. For generalized anxiety, it was 6.28 ± 3.92; and for psychological resilience, it was 68.14 ± 18.46. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that monthly family income, psychological resilience, and anxiety were significant predictors of perceived stress in men before sperm collection (P < 0.05).
conclusionsMen experienced mild anxiety and perceived stress before sperm collection on the day of oocyte retrieval, accompanied by moderate psychological resilience. Monthly family income is independent predictors of perceived stress. Anxiety correlates positively with perceived stress and can predict elevated stress levels, while psychological resilience correlates negatively with stress, serving as a protective factor. Nursing staff must address perceived stress, anxiety, and resilience in men undergoing IVF-ET, providing comprehensive information and support to enhance their psychological well-being.
