Tile: psychosocial well-being of men with infertility: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundInfertility is a growing public health concern, profoundly affecting men's psychological and social well-being. Despite its increasing prevalence in Ghana, research on its multidimensional impact remains limited. This study examined the psychosocial well-being of men with infertility in the Bono Region.
methodsA qualitative exploratory design was employed to provide an in-depth understanding of men's experiences with infertility and their psychosocial well-being. Using purposive and snowball sampling, eleven married men aged 25 years and older were recruited. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analysed using thematic content analysis to identify core themes and subthemes.
resultsTwo major themes emerged: (1) Psychological well-being, highlighting emotional distress, triggers, and perceived life quality; (2) Social well-being, encompassing lifestyle-related issues, social support from partners and relatives and disclosure.
conclusionThe findings highlight infertility's profound impact on men's well-being and underscore the need for targeted interventions, including psychological counselling and community-based programs, to mitigate stigma and enhance quality of life. Addressing these dimensions is critical for fostering inclusive reproductive health policies and comprehensive support structures for affected individuals and their families.
