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: Infertility negatively impacts quality of life and psychological well-being, yet their inter-relationship in untreated women remains unclear. Objective: To explore the association between fertility quality of life (FertiQoL) and psychological distress in untreated infertile women. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 350 infertile women at Fateme Zahra Center, Babol, Iran (October 2023-June 2024). Participants completed FertiQoL and general health questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) before treatment initiation. The primary outcome was FertiQoL, measured using the total FertiQoL score. Associations between FertiQoL and psychological, demographic, and infertility-related characteristics were evaluated. Results: The mean age of participants was 35.7 Conclusion: Psychological distress was significantly associated with FertiQoL among infertile women. Unexpectedly, higher GHQ-28 scores were associated with higher FertiQoL scores. Given the cross-sectional design, the underlying reasons for this finding remain unclear and warrant further investigation in longitudinal and culturally diverse populations.
