1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveExposure therapy is the frontline treatment for anxiety among adults but is underutilized during pregnancy. We qualitatively assess the prospective acceptability of exposure therapy among pregnant Latinas with elevated anxiety, a group that experiences mental health disparities.

methodPregnant Latinas (

resultsNineteen themes were identified across seven theoretically driven subdomains of acceptability. Women expressed acceptability enhancing factors for exposure therapy including feeling hopeful about its effects, a belief that treatment could benefit their broader family, and a preference for treatment during pregnancy as opposed to the postpartum period. Women also expressed challenges to exposure therapy acceptability such as managing family reactions to prenatal psychotherapy, conflict with cultural conceptions of the maternal role, and perceived difficulty using exposure for avoidance related to prenatal health.

conclusionIdentified themes provide insights about exposure acceptability among pregnant women and can be used to bettter engage Latinas in anxiety interventions, ultimately improving clinical outcomes. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
