Treating Anxiety During Pregnancy: Patient Concerns About Pharmaceutical Treatment.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectivesThe purpose of the current study was to describe anxious pregnant women's concerns about using pharmacotherapy to treat anxiety symptoms, and the relationship of such concerns to women's willingness to use pharmacotherapy during pregnancy.
methodsBetween April 2011 and May 2012, 148 women who were pregnant and reported elevated anxiety symptoms, as measured by the GAD-2, completed an online survey assessing their concerns about, and willingness to use, pharmacotherapy to treat anxiety symptoms during pregnancy. Qualitative responses were coded, and linear regression was used to assess the relationship between concerns and willingness.
resultsPregnant women with elevated anxiety symptoms reported low willingness to use pharmacotherapy to treat anxiety symptoms during pregnancy. The most common concerns reported were about negative effects on the baby or the self, and a general opposition to taking any medications during pregnancy. These concerns were significantly related to women's willingness to try pharmacotherapy (ps < .016).
conclusionOur findings underscore the importance of a pregnant woman's perceptions of potential side-effects and long-term effects of pharmacotherapy, both for herself and her offspring. These results point to specific factors that may be important to address in communication with patients about pharmacotherapy for anxiety disorders during pregnancy. Such an understanding may help clinicians provide more effective guidance and information about treatment options for anxiety disorders during pregnancy, and increase patients' willingness to engage in those treatments.
