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
Objective: Infertility has become one of the major public health problems, and assisted reproductive technology is the main treatment. Depressive symptoms are one of the most common mental illnesses treated with this technology. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of partner self-disclosure, marital satisfaction and family decision-making power on depressive symptoms in assisted reproductive therapy patients. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of self-disclosure, marital satisfaction, family decision-making power and depressive symptoms was performed in 1076 patients who underwent IVF/ICSI-ET treatment at the Reproductive Medicine Centre of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. Results: (1) Age and power base were the influencing factors of depressive symptoms. (2) The results of mediation effect test showed that marital satisfaction had a significant suppressing effect on depressive symptoms in assisted reproductive therapy patients, accounting for 30.05% of the total effect; family decision-making power had a significant partial mediating effect on depressive symptoms in assisted reproductive therapy patients, accounting for 28.81% of the total effect. Conclusion: Marital satisfaction and family decision-making power play a partial mediating role between self-disclosure and depressive symptoms. The score of marital satisfaction helps to reduce depressive symptoms, but the increase of family decision-making power predicts the increase of depressive symptoms. In addition, the results highlight gender differences in marital satisfaction and family decision-making power and the complexity of family relationships.
