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
backgroundAbortion could impact the mental well-being of parents. Resilience also has a significant effect on the mental health of the family as a factor in coping with abortion. This study aimed to compare depression, anxiety, perceived stress, and resilience in parents after abortion.
methodsThe present longitudinal study was performed on 200 hospitalized women and their spouses in the post-partum department of Shiraz hospitals in 2023. The instruments used in this study included questionnaires of fertility and demographic characteristics, hospital depression and anxiety (HADS), Connor's resilience, and Cohen's perceived stress. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.
resultsThe mean age of the fathers was 35.37 ± 4.99 and that of mothers was 31.35 ± 6.23. The scores of parents' anxiety, depression, and perceived stress in the first 24 h after facing abortion were in the highest possible state and decreased in 12 weeks, and their resilience also increased. In all three time periods, the mean scores of the fathers' anxiety, depression, and perceived stress were lower than those of the mothers, but the mean score of resilience was always higher in fathers. Fathers´ age and mothers' age, mothers' age at the time of marriage, fathers' job, number of children, gender of the last child (boy or girl), and unwanted pregnancy were among the predicting variables of anxiety, depression, perceived stress, and resilience of both parents faced with abortion.
conclusionAlthough mental disorders in fathers were fewer than mothers compared to post-abortion resilience, identifying and managing these issues promptly is crucial for enhancing post-abortion mental well-being in both parents. How parents navigate the challenges of pregnancy, childbirth, and abortion can significantly impact the couple's health.
