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
purposeThe psychosocial health of mother is crucial for healthy prenatal period and early childhood. We investigated the prevalence and risk factors of maternal depression during pregnancy and postpartum among women who participated in a home visitation program in Seoul, South Korea (Seoul Healthy First Step Project, SHFSP).
methodsWe analyzed 80,116 women who participated in the SHFSP, which was launched by Seoul metropolitan government in 2013, and defined peripartum depression as a score ≥ 10 on the Korean version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Sociodemographic factors and psychosocial health status were evaluated through a standardized questionnaire completed by participants upon program registration. We calculated the prevalence of women at risk for peripartum depression and evaluated associated factors by multivariable logistic regression analysis.
resultsPrevalence of women at risk for peripartum depression was 17.7% (prepartum depression: 14.2%, postpartum depression: 24.3%). Younger maternal age, low income (OR 2.40, 95% CI 2.03-2.84), disability (2.61, 1.96-3.47), single parenthood (3.27, 2.69-3.99), and smoking (2.02, 1.44-2.83) increased the peripartum depression risk. Furthermore, experience of stress, change, or loss over the past 12 months (3.36, 3.22-3.50), history of treatment for emotional issues (2.47, 2.27-2.70), experience of child abuse (1.91, 1.74-2.11), and domestic violence (2.25, 1.81-2.80) increased the risk for peripartum depression, whereas having helpers for the baby (0.62, 0.58-0.67), having someone to talk with (0.31, 0.27-0.35), and considering oneself confident (0.30, 0.29-0.31) decreased the risk.
conclusionsPolicies to reduce and manage peripartum depression should be strengthened, with a focus on high-risk pregnant and puerperal women.
