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
Background: Being a single mother is challenging. Many single mothers developed depression, but some managed to survive. This study aimed to determine the proportion of depression among single mothers living in community and its associated factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved conveniently sampled 213 Malay single mothers living in community in Perak, Malaysia. A Malay version of Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 was used to determine significant depression at a cut-off point of 10. Malay version of Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS-M) and Brief-Coping with Problems Experienced (COPE) scales were used to assess support and coping strategies. Results: The proportion of depression among Malay single mothers in this study was 20.2% (95% CI: 15.0, 26.2). Previous history of depression (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 10.27; 95% CI: 2.18, 48.35; Conclusion: There was a high proportion of depression among Malay single mothers living in the community. Personal history of depression and type of coping strategies used significantly influenced the occurrence of depression among these single mothers. Providing guidance to acquire adaptive coping strategies is a crucial preventive measure.
