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 examine pregnancy outcomes in women with treated and untreated anxiety in a well-characterized cohort. STUDY
designSecondary analysis of the NuMoM2b study, a prospective multi-center cohort of nulliparous women. Anxiety was assessed at 6 weeks 0 days - 13 weeks 6 days using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T). Women were divided into three groups: anxiety and medical treatment, anxiety and no medical treatment, and no anxiety (controls). The primary outcome was a composite of preterm birth, small for gestational age infant, placental abruption (clinically diagnosed), and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust for potential confounding variables.
resultsAmong 8293 eligible women, 24% (
conclusionAnxiety occurred in almost a quarter of nulliparas. There was no association between treated or untreated anxiety and our primary outcome of adverse pregnancy outcomes after adjustment for confounders. However, neonates born to women with untreated anxiety were at increased risk for NICU admission.
