Associations of anxiety and depression with sexual health among infertility patients: a systematic review.
Review in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: This study aims to systematically review the associations between anxiety, depression, and the sexual health of patients with infertility, providing a theoretical foundation for reproductive health professionals to develop targeted interventions. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in four English databases (Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, and PubMed) and two Chinese databases (CNKI and Wan Fang) from inception to December 31, 2025. Studies were selected following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, and the quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case-Control Studies and the Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies, as appropriate. All included studies were observational. A meta-analysis was not performed because of substantial heterogeneity in the characteristics of the included studies. Results: A total of 21 studies ( Conclusion: These findings support consideration of psychological and sexual health assessments as components of routine infertility care. Family and partner support may also be considered within comprehensive care; however, its effects on physical, psychological, relationship, and quality-of-life outcomes require evaluation in prospective or interventional studies.
