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
Purpose: To explore the classification characteristics of positive psychological capital in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), and to analyze the differences in characteristics of different categories of positive psychological capital in women undergoing IVF-ET. Methods: A total of 602 patients undergoing IVF-ET were selected using convenience sampling from the outpatient clinic of the Department of Reproductive Endocrinology at a tertiary Grade A obstetrics and gynecology hospital in mainland China between July 2025 and November 2025. On the day of embryo transfer, a general demographic questionnaire, the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and the Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ) were administered. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to explore the potential classes of positive psychological capital in patients undergoing IVF-ET, and univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were employed to identify the factors associated with these latent profiles. Results: The positive psychological capital of IVF-ET patients could be categorized into three latent classes: the low psychological capital group (21.6%), the moderate psychological capital group (45.7%), and the high psychological capital group (32.7%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that age < 35 years (OR = 0.534, 95% CI: [0.316, 0.902], P < 0.05) and psychological distress (OR = 0.942, 95% CI: [0.911, 0.975], P < 0.05) were independent predictors of belonging to Class 2 compared to Class 1. Similarly, for Class 3 vs. Class 1, age < 35 years (OR = 0.361, 95% CI: [0.205, 0.637], P < 0.05) and psychological distress (OR = 0.857, 95% CI: [0.819, 0.897], P < 0.05) were significant predictors. Specifically, younger age (< 35 years) and higher psychological distress positively predicted the likelihood of being in the reference class (Class 1), indicating they are risk factors for lower positive psychological capital. Conclusion: The positive psychological capital of IVF-ET patients can be categorized into three latent profiles. Clinical healthcare professionals should pay particular attention to patients who are younger (< 35 years) and experience higher levels of psychological distress, as they are more likely to exhibit lower levels of positive psychological capital. Tailored psychological screening and supportive strategies are recommended for these specific subgroups to potentially mitigate their psychological burden.
