Influencing factors of fertility concerns in cancer patients of childbearing age: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Purpose: This study systematically analyzes factors influencing fertility concerns among cancer patients to inform clinical practice. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus from inception through August 2024 for studies examining factors associated with fertility concerns in cancer patients. Two researchers independently performed literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment. Meta-analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 17.0. Results: A total of 13 articles were included, including 11 cross-sectional studies and 2 longitudinal studies, including 3282 patients. which showed that depression ( Conclusions: This study provides the first quantitative evidence that endocrine therapy and prior fertility counseling are significantly associated with elevated fertility concerns, highlighting potential clinical paradoxes and the complex interplay between medical intervention and psychological distress.
