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
Purpose: This study aims to explore the classification characteristics of alexithymia in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and analyze the differences among these classifications in female patients, in order to alleviate the patients' alexithymia and improve their mental health and reproductive quality of life. Methods: A total of 385 patients undergoing IVF-ET were selected through convenience sampling from the Reproductive Endocrinology Clinic of a Grade III A-level obstetrics and gynecology hospital in mainland China between June 2024 and December 2024. Data collection included the general information survey form, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and the General Self-efficacy Scale. Latent profile analysis was used to explore the potential categories of alexithymia among patients receiving IVF-ET treatment. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors correlated with the potential profiles. Results: The alexithymia in patients receiving IVF-ET treatment was categorized into three potential groups: low-risk (48.0%), moderate-risk (46.0%), and high-risk alexithymia groups (6.0%). Multiple logistic regression analysis results indicated that educational level, average monthly household income, and self-efficacy are correlated with alexithymia in patients receiving IVF-ET treatment ( Conclusion: The alexithymia in patients receiving IVF-ET treatment can be categorized into three potential profile types. The clinical medical staff should consider the characteristics of patients and implement targeted interventions for those with lower levels of education, lower average monthly household income, and poorer self-efficacy, in order to reduce the degree of alexithymia.
