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: This study evaluated whether an online mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program could reduce psychological distress and improve pregnancy rates in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Methodology: A total of 133 infertile women were randomized to an online MBSR intervention or a control group. The intervention included twice-weekly mindfulness sessions over 3 months. Primary outcomes were anxiety and depression, and the ultrasound-confirmed intrauterine pregnancy rate was a secondary outcome. Results: The intervention group showed significant reductions in anxiety and a significant borderline decrease in depression compared to controls. Participation in MBSR was also associated with a higher rate of ultrasound-confirmed intrauterine pregnancy. Online MBSR may effectively reduce psychological distress in women undergoing IVF, with potential benefits for pregnancy outcomes. Conclusion: This study suggests that online MBSR may serve as an effective complementary approach for alleviating emotional distress and potentially enhancing pregnancy outcomes in women undergoing IVF. Online MBSR programs appear to be a valuable tool for supporting women in managing infertility-related psychological challenges.
