Maternal Stress, Anxiety, Well-Being, and Sleep Quality in Pregnant Women throughout Gestation.

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
backgroundMaternal stress, anxiety, well-being, and sleep quality during pregnancy have been described as influencing factors during pregnancy.
aimWe aimed to describe maternal stress, anxiety, well-being, and sleep quality in pregnant women throughout gestation and their related factors.
methodsA prospective study including pregnant women attending BCNatal, in Barcelona, Spain (
resultsHigh levels of maternal stress were reported in 23.1% of participants at the end of pregnancy, with maternal age <40 years (OR 2.02; 95% CI 1.08-3.81,
conclusionMaternal stress and anxiety, compromised maternal well-being, and sleep quality disturbances are prevalent throughout pregnancy. Anxiety and compromised sleep quality may increase over gestation. The screening of these conditions at different stages of pregnancy and awareness of the associated risk factors can help to identify women at potential risk.
