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

Background: Psychological distress has been linked to infertility and its treatment. However, the existing literature data are scarce concerning this issue in Indian couples. Aim: To assess depression and anxiety in couples undergoing infertility treatment with assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs) in the Indian context. Methods: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess depression and anxiety in 80 married couples who were undergoing treatment for infertility using assisted reproductive techniques at an Indian center. Results: The mean anxiety and depression scores were higher in females with 9.84 ± 2.04 and 10.74 ± 2.67, respectively ( Conclusions: Depression and anxiety prevalence in infertile couples undergoing treatment with ART is double compared to the general population. Mean depression scores had a significant association in both genders and with initial treatment, gender-based attribution, and duration of therapy in males.
