Fertility preservation and mental health among cancer patients of reproductive age.
Review in Fertility and sterility, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Many cancer patients and survivors of reproductive age report parenthood as one of their most important life goals. As a result, infertility, interruption to childbearing, or inability to conceive can have profound negative mental health impacts for this population, who often report fertility-related distress, depression, anxiety, and reproductive concerns. Most patients who preserve fertility report feeling confident in their decision, even if preservation outcomes are not favorable, whereas patients who do not preserve fertility report higher rates of decisional regret. Integrating mental health into clinical models of oncofertility care delivery is critical to ensure that patients with new, persistent, or worsening psychological symptoms are captured and appropriately cared for. We aim to underscore the importance of supportive mental health care provided in tandem with reproductive health care for reproductive-aged cancer patients and survivors before, during, and after treatment.
