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
Purpose: This study was designed to explore separate and cumulative effects of fertility-related pressure, anxiety, depression, resilience and marital quality on suicidal ideation in Chinese infertile couples. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among infertile couples at the reproductive medicine center. Suicidal ideation was evaluated using item 9 of PHQ-9. A score of 1 or above indicated the presence of suicidal ideation. The Fertility Problem Inventory, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-8, the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Quality of Marriage Index were used to measure the risk and protective factors. Risk factor index is used to represent the number of risk factors, and protective factor index is used to represent the number of protective factors. Results: A total of 674 infertile couples participated this study. 65 infertile men and 76 infertile women reported suicidal ideation. Univariate analysis revealed that infertility-related pressure, anxiety, depression, resilience and marital quality were associated with suicidal ideation in both genders. Binary logistic regression revealed positive associations of risk factor index with suicidal ideation in couples (males: OR = 1.966, 95%CI: 1.636-2.363; females: OR = 2.484, 95%CI: 1.992-3.098). The protective factor index was significantly associated with reduced suicidal ideation odds in females (OR = 0.530, 95%CI: 0.316-0.888), but no significant association was found in males ( Conclusion: Our findings indicate that infertility-related pressure, anxiety, depression, resilience and marital quality are associated with suicidal ideation among infertile couples. Specifically, higher risk factor index is linked to increased odds of SI in both genders, with females showing a stronger association. And higher protective factor index is associated with reduced odds of SI in females, though this effect is not significant in males. Therefore, interventions targeting the reduction of infertility-related pressure, anxiety, and depression, coupled with the enhancement of resilience and marital quality, may effectively mitigate the risk of suicidal ideation in this population.
