Maternal Obesity and Perinatal Depression: An Updated Literature Review.
Review in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
The objective of this review was to determine if there is an association between maternal obesity and increased risk of perinatal depression. Original research articles were found by conducting an electronic database search of PubMed, ClinicalKey, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library. Seven articles, published in the last five years, were reviewed. Of the seven articles, five demonstrated an association between some level of maternal obesity and increased risk of perinatal depressive symptoms. The two remaining articles did initially find an association, but it was no longer significant after adjusting for or mediating the analysis with covariates. There appears to be an association between peripartum depressive symptoms and some level of maternal obesity and its comorbidities. More research is needed to determine the mechanism and degree of the association and its clinical significance.
