Effect of health education on mood and pregnancy rate among infertile patients undergoing assisted reproduction: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Medicine, 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
backgroundInfertility is associated with significant psychological distress, and health education is widely used to improve reproductive knowledge and support treatment outcomes in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, evidence regarding its effectiveness in enhancing psychological well-being and pregnancy outcomes remains limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of health education on cognitive outcomes, psychological state, and pregnancy rates in infertile patients receiving ART.
methodsA systematic literature search was conducted in the PubMed and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases from inception to October 2023, using combinations of terms such as "ART," "Embryo Transfer," "Reproductive Techniques, Assisted," "In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer," "Randomized controlled trial," and "Infertility." Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials that investigated health education interventions in ART patients. Meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager version 5.3.
resultsA total of eleven randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria, encompassing 1324 participants. Seven studies reported health outcome scores, showing a significant improvement following health education interventions (Z = 19.17, P <.001). The pooled analysis of health knowledge awareness across 4 treatment stages also yielded a Z score of 9.40 (P <.001). Additionally, patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the observation group (Z = 6.36, P <.001).
conclusionHealth education appears to significantly improve cognitive understanding, health awareness, and patient satisfaction among individuals undergoing ART. These findings support the incorporation of structured health education at multiple stages of ART to enhance psychological adaptation and clinical outcomes.
