Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) Depression and Subjective Sleep Quality in the First Trimester of Pregnancy Among Migrant Workers in Thailand.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionBrain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) influences neurodevelopment during pregnancy. Maternal sleep quality and depression are suggested to influence BDNF levels. The objective of this study was to assess the association between depression, sleep quality, and BDNF levels among Myanmar migrant pregnancies.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at Krathum Baen Hospital, Samut Sakhon province, from June to October 2018. A total of 108 first-trimester women were recruited into our study. Maternal blood was collected to analyze BDNF. Depression levels were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) instrument. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire was applied to evaluate subjective sleep quality. Because BDNF was skewed, binary logistic regression was analyzed.
resultsWe found that 28.7% of pregnant women reported poor sleep quality, and 33.4% were classified as having mild to moderate depression. After adjusting for covariate variables, pregnant women with depression had higher BDNF levels than those without depression (OR = 2.972, 95% CI = [1.111, 7.949], p = 0.030). Pregnant women with poor sleep quality had lower BDNF levels than those who had good sleep quality (OR = 0.359, 95% CI = [0.132, 0.972], p = 0.044). DISCUSSION: The results suggested that BDNF might be an alternative tool to assess sleep quality in pregnant women.
