1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe present study examined the prevalence of symptoms of depression throughout pregnancy and the early postpartum period (first trimester through six weeks postpartum) in low-income Latina women. Further, this study examined whether established risk factors in non-Latina women also predict perinatal depressive symptom trajectories in low-income Latinas.

methodsThe sample included 240 Latina women from a federally qualified health center (FQHC).

resultsLatent growth curve modeling found that, on average, symptoms of depression decreased from the first trimester of pregnancy through six weeks postpartum. Change in symptoms of depression from the first trimester through six weeks postpartum were predicted by limited English proficiency and age.

conclusionsFindings of the current study add to existing evidence that can guide clinical care for Latina maternal mental health throughout the perinatal period.
