1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Women undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) can suffer from anxiety and depression at various levels during the process. This study aimed to assess the anxiety and depression statuses (primary outcome) and influencing factors (secondary outcome) among patients undergoing IVF-ET. A 2019-2020 survey at Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital studied IVF-ET patients, evaluating anxiety and depression with GAD-7 and PHQ-9 alongside demographic data, using logistic regression for influencing factors. Among the 2465 women who undergoing IVF-ET, 27.18% had depression, and 18.46% had anxiety. Bachelors' degree (OR = 0.659, 95%CI: 0.503-0.864), male factor infertility (OR = 0.745, 95%CI: 0.558-0.995), and assessment on the day of starting gonadotropin stimulation (OR = 0.781, 95%CI: 0.626-0.974) were negatively independently associated with depression, while comorbidities (OR = 1.541, 95%CI: 1.281-1.854) and an extended ART strategy (OR = 1.394, 95%CI: 1.162-1.672) were independently associated with depression. High school/technical school education (OR = 0.669, 95%CI: 0.490-0.915) and bachelor's degree (OR = 0.640, 95%CI: 0.472-0.868) were negatively independently associated with anxiety, while an extended ART strategy (OR = 1.476, 95%CI: 1.197-1.820) was independently associated with anxiety. In conclusion, the prevalence of depression and anxiety was high in women undergoing IVF-ET. The study identified factors independently associated with depression and anxiety that could be used to guide the psychological management of women undergoing IVF-ET.
