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
purposeWe investigated the influence of depression on subsequent risk of unintended pregnancy and social disparities within this relationship, during adolescence and young adulthood.
methodsDrawing upon 15-year, nationally representative data from 8,810 young U.S. women in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, we estimated associations between depression and time to first pregnancies reported as unintended, overall and stratified by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and age with Cox proportional hazard models.
resultsModerate/severe depression symptoms were associated with an increased risk of unintended first pregnancy (hazard ratio [HR], 1.21; confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.44). In stratified models, depression increased the pregnancy risk for all minority groups (HRs, 1.36-3.25) but not white women. Depression increased the pregnancy risk for women with $0-$19,999 (HR, 1.48; CI, 1.11-1.98) and $20,000-$49,999 (HR, 1.33; CI, 1.05-1.68) income levels but not those at higher levels. Depression increased the pregnancy risk for adolescents <20 years (HR, 1.35; CI, 1.07-1.71) but decreased the risk for women >24 years (HR, .47; CI, .25-.86).
conclusionsFindings may inform more equitable, holistic public health strategies that target depression as a modifiable risk factor for adverse reproductive outcomes during adolescence and young adulthood.
