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
purposeDepression has been shown to be a risk factor of poor pregnancy outcomes among African-American women. The goal of this study was to examine both risk and protective factors of depressive symptoms among urban, high-risk African-American, pregnant women.
methodsData were drawn from a larger randomized controlled trial, Health Outcomes of Pregnancy Education that was a part of the National Institutes of Health-DC Initiative to Reduce Infant Mortality in Minority Populations in the District of Columbia. For purposes of the present study, a sample of African-American pregnant women (n = 1,044) were recruited from six urban prenatal care clinics. Baseline depressive symptoms were assessed using the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-Depression Scale.
resultsForty-four percent of women were confirmed as moderately to severely depressed at baseline. In multivariate linear regression analysis among the total sample, maternal age, intimate partner violence, illicit drug and alcohol use during pregnancy, and reproductive history (no live birth/only loss; no live birth/no loss) were associated with increased depressive symptoms. Being very happy about the pregnancy, having emotional support from others, and reporting more positive expectancies about the ability to regulate negative moods were associated with decreased depressive symptoms.
conclusionResults highlight the importance of attending to the context of high-risk, African-American, pregnant women, paying attention to both risk and protective factors of poor psychological well-being. Implications for future research in this area are discussed.
