Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: The study was planned to evaluate the association between Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and Postpartum Depression (PPD) in a rural population of Odisha, Eastern India. Material and Methods: Pregnant women in the first trimester were recruited and followed up till six weeks of postpartum. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus was assessed with 75 grams glucose challenge test and PPD was assessed at six weeks after delivery with Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Statistical difference between variables was assessed using Chi-square test, Fischer's exact test, and unpaired Results: Out of 436 pregnant women recruited, 347 (89.6%) remained in the study. Prevalence of GDM was 13.9% (95% CI: 10.7-17.3) and PPD was 9.8% (95% CI: 6.6-12.9). Incidence of PPD in the GDM group was 14.58% (95% CI: 4.2-24.9) and in women without GDM was 9.06% (95% CI: 5.76-12.3). However, the association was not significant on multivariate logistic regression (Risk Ratio (RR) = 1.56, 95% C.I: 0.61-6.16; Conclusion: This study demonstrated that women with GDM were at higher risk of developing PPD suggesting that an "at risk" approach should be implemented for screening.
