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
backgroundBesides infertility, the treatment associated with it is potentially related to psychological stress to mothers. This study was conducted to know whether the mode of conception has any association with early postpartum depression.
methodA prospective cohort study was conducted on postnatal mothers at a tertiary care hospital from January to June 2019. The study participants were divided into two groups: postnatal mothers who delivered following spontaneous conception and assisted conception. Basic sociodemographic and obstetric details were collected. Postnatal depression assessment was done at the end of first and sixth week after delivery on all the mothers by using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS).
resultsIn total, 110 subjects (55 in each group) were included in the study. The primary outcome measured was the presence of postpartum depression (EPDS score ≥10). The mean (±SD) age of the participants was 29 ± 6.4 years. The sociodemographic profiles of the two groups were comparable except for mean age, mode of delivery, socioeconomic status, prepregnancy body mass index -the group differences in these variables were statistically significant (P ≤ 0.05). There was no significant difference in the EPDS scores at one week or six weeks of postpartum among the two groups. Comparison of EPDS score among the two groups by Fisher's exact test showed that those mothers with a past history of depression were more likely to have postpartum depression immediately after delivery.
conclusionMode of conception was not associated with an increase in postpartum depression among women who underwent infertility treatment.
