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
backgroundGender perception reflects how individuals interpret and internalize social norms and expectations related to femininity and masculinity. In societies where traditional gender roles remain influential, these perceptions may affect reproductive experiences and responses to infertility. However, data examining gender perception among women undergoing infertility treatment remain limited. This study aimed to examine gender perceptions among women undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment and to investigate the association between gender perception and selected sociodemographic characteristics.
methodsThis descriptive study was conducted at the In Vitro Fertilization and Reproductive Health Center of Atatürk University Hospital. Women aged 18-45 years undergoing ICSI treatment were included in the study using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Demographic Information Form including variables of age, educational level, socio-economic status, upbringing culture, and the Perception of Gender Scale (PGS).
resultsA total of 119 women participated in the study. Age and upbringing culture were not significantly associated with PGS scores. Educational level had a significant effect on gender perception, with participants who had a university education demonstrating more egalitarian gender perceptions compared with those with lower education levels. Socioeconomic status showed a significant overall association with PGS scores; however, post hoc comparisons did not reveal statistically significant differences between specific groups.
conclusionEducational attainment appears to be an important factor influencing gender perception among women undergoing ICSI treatment. These findings suggest that gender-related attitudes may play a role in infertility experiences and highlight the importance of gender-sensitive approaches in reproductive health services.
