Effect of solution focused approach on women aged 35 or over with in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer: A quasi-experimental trial.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundWe aimed to explore the influence of solution-focused approach (SFA) on anxiety and depression, sleep quality, quality of life and clinical pregnancy rate among women aged 35 or over undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET).
methodsThe study was performed at the reproductive center in a public hospital in Lanzhou city. Totally, 112 women were enrolled in this study, and were divided into group SFA (n = 56) and group control (n = 56). The patients in the group SFA completed five sessions (30 minutes/turn), and patients in the group control received routine care.
resultsThe intervention group showed a significant decrease in anxiety (t = 11.906, P < 0.001) and depression scores (t = 14.991, P < 0.001), as well as PSQI scores (t = 7.055, P < 0.001), and increased FertiQoL scores (t = -2.828, P < 0.001). Comparing the two groups after the intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly lower SAS scores (t = -10.348, P < 0.001), SDS scores (t = -8.416, P < 0.001), and PSQI scores (t = -5.087, P < 0.001), while FertiQoL scores were higher than the control group (t = 2.389, P = 0.019). The intervention group reported a satisfaction rate of 96.2% to 100% with the SFA.
conclusionsSFA can help relieve anxiety and depression, improve sleep quality and reproductive life quality. Improvement in psychological distress might not contribute to increasing female fecundity. Patients in the group SFA were satisfied with the intervention.
