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
backgroundIt is widely recognized that the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the psychological well-being of pregnant and postpartum women. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance to identify effective strategies that can mitigate the negative emotional experiences of pregnant women during any pandemic period.
aimThis review seeks to identify the most effective approaches to managing stress among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic and emphasizes the significance of providing support to pregnant women throughout this period.
methodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted, and studies that met the inclusion criteria were analysed. The primary criterion was that the studies examined strategies employed by pregnant women to cope with stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.
resultsA total of 16 studies were included in the analysis. Adaptive coping strategies were found to be more effective in ameliorating the impact of the pandemic on mental health compared to dysfunctional coping strategies. While pregnant women generally exhibited maladaptive coping behaviours, psychological support and promoting beneficial coping strategies were the most frequently described methods for improving their mental health during the pandemic and preventing adverse outcomes of pregnancy. Additionally, avoiding misinformation and seeking social and family support were considered essential components of effective support.
conclusionIt is crucial to prioritize psychological, emotional and mental health support for pregnant women during the pandemic.
