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

objectiveThis study aimed to compare psychological well-being, perceived stress, and self-compassion in women who conceived via IVF and those with spontaneous pregnancies.

methodThis descriptive, comparative cross-sectional study included 50 women who conceived via IVF and 100 who conceived spontaneously. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews between July 2024 and January 2025 using standardized scales. The Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman correlation analysis were used.

resultsWomen in the IVF group had significantly higher perceived stress and lower psychological well-being and self-compassion than those with spontaneous pregnancies (p < 0.001). In the spontaneous pregnancy group, psychological well-being was positively associated with self-compassion and negatively associated with perceived stress.

conclusionWomen who conceived via IVF may benefit from comprehensive psychosocial support, particularly interventions aimed at enhancing self-compassion.
