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

Objective: To evaluate the effect of mindfulness training in addition to essential psychological counseling on the clinical pregnancy rate in women undergoing frozen embryo transfer (FET), and to explore the potential mediating role of neuropsychological improvements. Methods and Analysis: This study will be conducted as a single-center, parallel-group, open-label, exploratory randomized controlled trial. Eligible women aged 18-45 years undergoing FET who present with psychological distress (mild to moderate anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, poor sleep quality, or psychosocial stress overload) will be recruited. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the Mindfulness Training Group (MTG), which delivers structured formal mindfulness practice, or the Essential Psychological Counseling Group (EPCG), which provides supportive psychoeducation and emotional guidance without mindfulness-based training. The primary endpoint will be the clinical pregnancy rate. Secondary endpoints include changes in anxiety symptoms, depressive symptom, sleep quality, and psychosocial stress; the live birth rate will be assessed exploratorily. Mediation analyses will be performed to assess whether neuropsychological improvements explain the relationship between mindfulness training and clinical pregnancy. A total of 434 participants will be enrolled, allowing for a 20% dropout rate. Trial Registration: This trial is registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2600116827).
