Infertility, anxiety, and depression among adolescents and young adults with cancer: the Mexico Cancer Survivorship Registry.

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
backgroundIn 2020, 24,000 new cancer cases were diagnosed among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) in Mexico. Cancer-related infertility affects 30%-75% of AYAs and is associated with poor quality of life, relationship satisfaction, and self-worth. This study examines the association between infertility, anxiety, and depression among AYA cancer survivors in Mexico.
methodsData for AYAs (ages 15-39) in the Registro de Supervivientes de Cancer (Cancer Survivor Registry) developed by the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología in Mexico was utilized. A self-report survey was conducted during 2014-2018. Logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsAYA cancer survivors (N = 1168) had a median age of 31 (interquartile range: 25-36), were predominantly women (75%), and 42% had a college education or higher. The most common cancers were breast (33%), lymphoma (12%), cervical (10%), and testicular (9%) with the majority being Stage III (19%) tumors. Approximately 1 in 8 AYAs (12%) reported infertility. Across men and women, after adjusting for age at diagnosis, time since the end of treatment, education level, geographical region, stage, treatment type, and cancer type, AYAs who reported infertility were more likely to experience depression (OR 1.52, 95% CI: 1.02-2.26) symptoms than those who did not report infertility. There was no association between infertility and anxiety among all AYA cancer survivors combined.
conclusionsInfertility is associated with depression symptoms among AYA Mexican cancer survivors. Mexican AYA cancer survivors experiencing infertility may need additional support to address unmet care needs.
