Article in Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Female infertility causes considerable emotional distress for affected women, negatively influencing their quality of life (QOL) and marital stability. This study aimed to identify factors influencing QOL and marital distress among Omani women attending a fertility clinic. Methods: This cross-sectional study included Omani women seeking infertility treatment at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, from November 2022 to February 2023 and assessed QOL using the World Health Organization QOL-Brief (WHOQOL-BREF) and marital adjustment using the Arabic Revised-Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Results: A total of 150 women were included in this study. The mean WHOQOL-BREF Version score was 69.40 ± 11.03, with mental health scoring the lowest and social relationships the highest. Primary infertility was reported by 58% and most participants were over 35 years old and unemployed. Mental health QOL was positively associated with polygynous marriages and younger age. The marital adjustment was negatively correlated with younger age at marriage and disparities in spousal education levels. Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for targeted psychological support to improve the QOL and marital dynamics of Omani women undergoing infertility treatment.
