Convergent Validity of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) in Pregnant and Postpartum Women: Their Construct Correlations with Functional Disability.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
This study aimed to evaluate the convergent validity of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) in Thai pregnant and postpartum women, using the 12-item WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) as the reference standard. Participants completed the EPDS, PHQ-9, and WHODAS during the third trimester of pregnancy (over 28 weeks in gestational age) and six weeks postpartum. The sample included 186 and 136 participants for the antenatal and postpartum data analyses, respectively. The antenatal and postpartum data showed moderate correlations between both the EPDS and the PHQ-9 scores and the WHODAS scores (Spearman's correlation coefficients = 0.53-0.66,
