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
Background: Assessing depression, anxiety, and stress levels in women with infertility, along with their coping strategies, can significantly improve their mental health. Objective: This study examined the relationship between coping mechanisms and psychological symptoms in women with infertility. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 386 Iranian women with infertility attending Rooyesh Infertility Center in Birjand, Iran, completed the coping inventory for stressful situations (Endler and Parker) and the depression, anxiety, and stress scale-21. Results: Approximately 43% reported normal levels of depression, 40% normal anxiety, and 46% normal stress. Mean scores on the coping inventory for stressful situations were highest for problem-oriented coping (46.83 Conclusion: Problem-oriented coping significantly reduces depression, anxiety, and stress in women with infertility, whereas emotion-oriented coping increases depression and anxiety but decreases stress. Implementing targeted coping strategies can effectively manage psychological symptoms. Healthcare providers may use problem-oriented approaches for long-term psychological support and emotion-oriented strategies for short-term relief.
