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: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention based on the behavior change wheel (BCW) in improving health promotion behaviors, self-efficacy, and pregnancy rates among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) experiencing infertility. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 66 PCOS patients with infertility recruited from the gynecology outpatient department of a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou, China. Participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group ( Results: A total of 62 participants were included in the full analysis set, and 56 in the per-protocol set. Health promotion behaviors improved significantly from pre-intervention to post-intervention in both groups ( Conclusion: The BCW-based intervention program showed promise in improving health promotion behaviors and self-efficacy among PCOS patients with infertility over 12 weeks, although its effect on pregnancy rate was not statistically significant. Longer-term studies are warranted to evaluate sustained benefits and reproductive outcomes. Clinical trial registration: https://www.chictr.org.cn, identifier (ChiCTR2500103129).
