1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: A growing number of couples worldwide are seeking Methods: Based on the social-ecological systems theory, this study adopted a phenomenological qualitative research approach. From November 2024 to January 2025, patients who experienced failed Results: A total of 15 patients with failed IVF-ET participated in this study, and three themes and eight sub-themes were derived from the interview data: (1) Microsystem: Experiencing physical and psychological distress (dynamic changes in complex emotional experiences; experiences of somatic discomfort); (2) Mesosystem: Confronting challenges of imbalance in economic status, family relationships and life patterns (excessive economic burden; barriers to maintaining family relationships; imbalance in life and work patterns); (3) Macrosystem: Weakness of the diversified external support system (insufficient informational support; need for improvement in medical service experience; inadequate policy support). Conclusion: Patients who experience failed IVF-ET-assisted pregnancy exhibit compromised social-ecological system status, accompanied by severe psychological distress and substantial economic burden, along with multiple adaptive challenges. These findings highlight the urgent clinical need to implement targeted psychological interventions, optimize medical support strategies, and mobilize multidisciplinary resources including medical staff, family, and social institutions, thereby improving the coping ability and long-term mental health outcomes of this population.
