"Temporal meaning-making of women's emotional experiences during the infertility treatment process: a qualitative study".
Article in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being, 2026. 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
purposeThis study examines women's emotional experiences during infertility treatment through the perspective of temporality, focusing on pre-diagnosis meanings, treatment experiences, and future expectations.
methodUsing a descriptive phenomenological approach, semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 19 women undergoing infertility treatment. Data were analyzed using Giorgi's method.
resultsInfertility represents a 'biographical disruption' deeply affecting self-perception and social identity. Pre-diagnosis meanings attributed to motherhood deepen the trauma at diagnosis. The treatment process is an 'extended present' oscillating between hope and uncertainty, involving bodily objectification and intense social pressure.
conclusionInfertility is a multi-layered traumatic process. Health professionals should adopt a supportive care approach prioritizing women's temporal integrity and psychosocial well-being alongside medical outcomes.
