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
backgroundPregnancy is characterized with several physical and mental changes in women. These changes cause mental health problems in pregnant women and especially in nulliparous women.
objectiveTo determine the effects of cognitive-behavioral counseling on mental health of pregnant women.
methodThe study was carried out as a quality of life clinical trial with a control group. The participants were 60 pregnant women (less than 20 weeks) who visited Kamyaran-based health centers (Iran) in 2018. The participants were allocated randomly to experiment and control groups (n = 30 each). The experiment group attended eight group behavioral cognitive counseling sessions (70-90min) on weekly basis. Pre-intervention data was collected using a demographics checklist and Goldberg's General Health Questionnaire. One month after the last counseling session, the questionnaires were filled out once more by all the participants. The data was analyzed using Mann-Whitney, independent t-test, Friedman, and Chi Squared tests using SPSS (23).
resultsThe results showed that the difference between the control and experiment groups in terms of mental health score was not significant before the intervention (p = 0.169). However, the difference between the two groups was significant immediately (p = 0.001) and one month (p = 0.001) after the group behavioral cognitive counseling.
conclusionThe group behavioral cognitive counseling sessions improved mental health in nulliparous women. Further studies with longer follow-up terms to ensure resilience of the effects of such interventions are recommended.
