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
aimThis qualitative study sheds light on the expectations of infertile men regarding reproductive health services.
designThis descriptive qualitative study employed an inductive content analysis approach.
methodsIn 2023, nurse researchers conducted in-depth interviews with 13 men with primary infertility using a semi-structured approach. The collected data were analysed using Graneheim and Lundman's inductive content analysis method, adhering to Guba and Lincoln's standards to ensure trustworthiness.
resultsThe analysis identified the central theme, 'Male Infertility: Awareness, Support and Participation,' as well as three categories: Male Infertility Awareness, which involves spreading the word in various ways; Male Infertility Support, encompassing all professional expertise; and Male Infertility Programme, which involves couples' joint participation in treatment.
conclusionsMen seeking reproductive health services necessitate a comprehensive treatment approach involving education, consultations with specialists and couple-centred care. This finding highlights the importance of multidisciplinary reproductive health services, which can help healthcare providers, nurses and policymakers enhance the quality of care for men and couples with male infertility. Adopting a multifaceted approach incorporating nursing skills and competencies can promote more inclusive and culturally sensitive patient-centred care in reproductive health services.
