Obstetric outcomes in pregnant women with and without depression: population-based comparison.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
This study used insurance claims data to evaluate obstetric outcomes in pregnant women with and without depression because population study for Asian women on the issue is limited. We identified 5,064 women with depression at pregnancy in 2005-2013, and 20,024 pregnant women without depression, frequency matched by age, pregnant year and parity. Obstetric events during pregnancy and deliveries were evaluated. The depression group had more events than comparisons for hyperemesis (39.3 vs. 35.5%), abortion (3.3 vs. 2.6%), malpresentation (12.3 vs. 10.3%), C-section (40.2 vs. 34.6%) and intrauterine fetal demise (0.7 vs. 0.4%); risks of these events were significant for childbearing depressed women, not for the 35+ years subgroup. These incidences were higher in depressed women taking antidepressant than those without the medication, but were significant in childbearing depressed subgroup for hyperemesis and C-section with odds ratios of 1.18 (95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.02-1.36) and 1.29 (95% CI, 1.11-1.49), respectively. Incident preterm and low birth weight births were also higher in the depression group than in comparisons, but weren't significant. In conclusion, women with depression during pregnancy may develop more adverse events than comparisons and are more likely to have a C-section delivery.
