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 and Aims: Infertility is recognized as one of the major stressors in life, with health, psychological, social, and cultural consequences. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between infertility-related stress and awareness and follow-up of receiving benefits from the "Support for the Family and Youth of the Population " law among infertile couples in East Azerbaijan province, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in the city of Tabriz during the years 2023-2024. The participants were Iranian infertile couples of reproductive age (15-50 years) who had visited healthcare centers providing infertility services in East Azerbaijan Province. Data were collected using the Newton Infertility Stress/Problems Questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire assessing awareness, perceived importance, and follow-up of facilities related to the 'Family Support and Youthful Population Law.' SPSS version 16 and STATA version 17 software were used to analyze the data. Results: This study included 396 participants (response rate: 94.2%). The total infertility stress score averaged 169.78, indicating a relatively high level of stress among infertile couples. Correlation analysis revealed that infertility stress was significantly associated with all examined variables except age and duration of marriage. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the strongest correlations were observed with sexual concerns ( Conclusion: The findings suggest that while increased awareness, perceived importance, and pursuit of supportive facilities might ostensibly reduce stress, in practice, they are paradoxically associated with higher stress levels, which may be related to unrealistic expectations and bureaucratic barriers. This finding underscores the necessity for a fundamental revision of supportive policies and their implementation strategies.
