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
backgroundThe prevalence of failure of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is high. One of the complications of the failure of these procedures is sexual problems. Counseling interventions may improve the sexual health of these women. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of solution-focused counseling on the sexual satisfaction and sexual quality of life (SQL) in women with PCOS with a history of failure of ART. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study is a randomized clinical trial carried out in women with PCOS with a history of failure of ART in the Reproductive Sciences Research Institute from March-August 2023 in Yazd, Iran. 60 samples were selected and randomized to intervention (8 solution-focused counseling sessions) and active control groups (educational booklets). The SQL and sexual satisfaction questionnaires were completed by both groups, before, immediately, and one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed by SPSS21.
resultsA statistically significant difference was reported between the sexual satisfaction scores in the two intervention and active control groups immediately (
conclusionsCounseling based on the solution-focused approach increased sexual satisfaction and improved the SQL in women with PCOS with failure of ART. Therefore, it is recommended to use this approach in health and treatment centers to improve the sexual health of these women.
