1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

aimTo evaluate the effectiveness of nurses and midwives-led psychological interventions on the perinatal depressive symptoms.

designA systematic review and meta-analysis based on the PRISMA guidelines.

methodsSix databases were searched, including PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science and CINAHL. The search date range was before 30 September 2019. We used the Cochrane risk of bias tool to evaluate the quality of the included studies and Review Manager software 5.3 to conduct a meta-analysis. The data were pooled using a random-effect model.

resultsStudies (N = 827) were retrieved with 12 studies included. Psychological interventions provided by nurses and midwives have a significant effect on reducing perinatal depressive symptoms (RR: 0.72, 95% CI [0.64-0.82]). Among the approaches of psychological intervention, supportive counselling was the most effective (RR: 0.58, 95% CI [0.42-0.80]). The best intensity of intervention was six to eight sessions (RR: 0.66, 95% CI [0.55-0.79]).
