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

Given the high prevalence of IVF failure and its psychological impact, this study aimed to determine the effect of supportive counseling on resilience in infertile women following unsuccessful in vitro fertilization. Sixty-five infertile women after the failure of the first IVF started the study, but only 60 completed the trial. In the intervention group, individual supportive counseling was conducted during four sessions lasting 60 min each once a week. For the control group, routine care of the infertility center has been done. Before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the total score of resilience and its subscales between the two groups. However, four weeks post-intervention, the total score of resilience and its subscales increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group, with an increase of 15.06 ± 15.14 in the intervention group and a decrease of 12.93 ± 13.03 in the control group (p < 0.001). Eight weeks post-intervention, the total score of resilience and its subscales increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group, with an increase of 20.60 ± 16.86 in the intervention group and a decrease of 17.80 ± 17.34 in the control group (p < 0.001). Based on the findings of this study, supportive counseling effectively enhanced resilience in infertile women following IVF failure.
