Article in International journal of fertility & sterility, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThreatened abortion (TA) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Despite the attention paid to the adverse outcomes of obstetrics, only a few studies have been conducted on the psychological status of women with threatened abortion. This study aimed to compare the symptoms of depression and anxiety in women with TA and those without threatened abortion. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a case-control study, 136 women with TA (the case group) and 136 women without TA (the control group), were matched with the case group in terms of gestational age, education level, age, and number of pregnancies, were examined from Obstetric clinics of Babol University of Medical Sciences. Demographic information and pregnancy history were obtained from all participants. Additionally, the women filled out the BSI-18 questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 22 software.
resultsThe results showed that in women with threatened abortion, the likelihood of experiencing depression symptoms was 1.9 times higher [odds ratio (OR)=1.91, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.13-3.23, P=0.015], anxiety symptoms were 1.8 times higher (OR=1.83, 95% CI=1.08-3.10, P=0.024), and somatization was 2.6 times higher (OR=2.65, 95% CI=1.61-4.37, P<0.001) compared to pregnant women without threatened abortion. Additionally, in women with threatened abortion, the risk of psychological distress was 3.3 times higher (OR=3.30, 95% CI=1.96- 5.56, P<0.001) than in women without threatened abortion.
conclusionThis study suggests that gynecologists, midwives, and healthcare providers, in addition to providing medical care for women threatened with abortion, should identify women at risk of experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Providing appropriate psychological support should be prioritized in the management of women with threatened abortion.
