Prevalence of Depression or Anxiety During Antepartum Hospitalizations for Obstetric Complications: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Obstetrics and gynecology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo systematically review the prevalence of antenatal depression and anxiety in women hospitalized in an antepartum unit for obstetric complications. DATA SOURCES: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and ClinicalTrials.gov for English-language articles published from database inception through March 2020. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION: We included cross-sectional, cohort, case-control, quasi-experimental, and randomized controlled studies from any country that reported the proportion of pregnant women with an elevated depression or anxiety screening scale or diagnostic interview during antepartum hospitalization of any duration and at any gestational age. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND
resultsWe identified 8,799 articles and reviewed 79, 39 of which were included in a systematic review and 18 in meta-analysis of the primary outcome. Two raters independently assessed quality of individual studies using a 14-question tool. A random effects meta-analysis model was used to estimate prevalence and 95% CI of depression or anxiety. Heterogeneity was examined with the I2 test, and funnel plots were used to assess publication bias. After meta-analysis, the estimated prevalence of depression was 34% (95% CI 27-41%) and of anxiety 29% (95% CI 16-43%). There was expected substantial clinical and methodologic heterogeneity between studies that persisted even after planned a priori subgroup analyses and meta-regression. Even so, the direction of effect was consistent across studies. No publication bias was found.
conclusionThe current meta-analysis suggests that one in three women hospitalized during pregnancy for obstetric complications report clinical levels of depression or anxiety symptoms, twice the reported prevalence of antenatal depression or anxiety in the general obstetric population.
