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
Background and Aims: Infertility is associated with several psychological problems. Considering the increasing prevalence of infertility and the role of psychological factors, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral couple therapy on increasing the happiness and marital satisfaction among infertile couples. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 24 infertile couples were selected via convenience sampling from Infertility Center Kermanshah and randomly assigned to cognitive‑behavioral couple therapy (CBCT; 12 couples) or control (routine care; 12 couples). The CBCT group received ten 120‑minute weekly sessions. Data were collected using the Oxford Happiness and ENRICH Marital Satisfaction scales at pre‑test, post‑test, and two‑month follow‑up. Group homogeneity at baseline was assessed using Chi‑square and independent t‑tests. repeated‑measures ANOVA was conducted to evaluate main and interaction effects of group and time on the outcomes. All analyses were performed using SPSS‑25, with significance set at Results: Repeated‑measures ANOVA revealed significant time × group interaction effects for happiness (F (2,86) = 13.48, Conclusions: Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy can be used in women and in particular infertile men to increasing the happiness and marital satisfaction among them.
