The effect of music intervention on depression in perinatal women: A systematic review.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Objective: Perinatal depression has become a global public health problem, which not only harms the health of mothers and their offspring, but also increases the socio-economic burden, so early intervention is urgent. Music intervention is a low-cost and safe intervention method. This study endeavored to systematically integrate and quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of music intervention for perinatal depression. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched systematically. The search period was up to September 1, 2024. The included studies were summarized and analyzed. Results: A total of 1375 articles were obtained through preliminary search, and 13 of them were finally included. The effect of music intervention on perinatal depression was better than that of the control group (SMD = -0.53, 95%CI (-0.81, -0.26), Conclusions: This study indicated that music intervention had a significant effect on alleviating perinatal depression, but the effect on anxiety was not significant. However, the results were highly heterogeneous, and large-scale, multi-center, and long-term studies are needed in the future to confirm this.
