Article in European journal of midwifery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
introductionMany changes occur in a woman's body during pregnancy. These changes (biological, chemical, hormonal, anatomical) can make a pregnant woman both physically and mentally vulnerable. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in association with depression symptoms in pregnancy.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in 123 pregnant women who visited one of the largest obstetrics and gynecology centers in Greece. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to measure depression symptoms and World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument to evaluate quality of life. The collected data were organized with the SPSS software, version 25.
resultsThe results showed that 15.5% of pregnant women were at an increased risk of developing depression symptoms; 91% of the women declared that their QoL was good/very good, whereas 92.7% was very satisfied with their health status. Depression symptoms seem to be positively correlated with the low household income, unpleasant event during pregnancy, and the trimester of pregnancy. Additionally, unmarried women, an unpleasant event during pregnancy and the second trimester of pregnancy proved to be negatively associated with the quality of life. Women without a risk of depression had better QοL than women who were at risk of depression symptoms.
conclusionsIt is important to evaluate the QοL of women during pregnancy with the aim of good prenatal health. The organization of the necessary interventions for mothers' health and their newborns are also of vital importance.
