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

Background: Prenatal diagnostics is a crucial process for ensuring the health of both pregnant women and their fetuses. However, the participation rate of high-risk pregnant women in prenatal diagnostics is often influenced by various factors, including anxiety, depression, and lack of family support. In recent years, mobile health (mHealth) interventions have become an important tool in improving maternal health management, especially in terms of behavior change. The Behavior Change Wheel (BCW) theory and the Family Health Theory (FHT) have been applied in various health interventions, but there are limited studies focusing on prenatal diagnostics. Objective: The study aims to evaluate the impact of a mobile health intervention based on the Behavior Change Wheel theory and Family Health Theory on prenatal diagnostic participation rates and pregnancy outcomes in high-risk pregnant women, while exploring the role of family member involvement in improving maternal psychological health and pregnancy outcomes. Methods: The study outlines a single-blind, interventional, randomized controlled trial conducted at the Inner Mongolia Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital. A total of 58 high-risk pregnant women will be included and randomly assigned to either the intervention group (29 participants) or the standard care group (29 participants). The intervention group will receive a 12-week mHealth intervention via the WeChat platform, including health education, emotional support, behavioral feedback, and family member participation. The standard care group will receive standard prenatal care. Primary outcomes include prenatal diagnostic needs and pregnancy outcomes, while secondary outcomes include health knowledge, anxiety and depression levels, decision conflict, and other factors. This study uses IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0 for data analysis, employing descriptive statistics, normality tests, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon, and chi-square tests. Discussion: The study proposes that a mobile health intervention based on the Behavior Change Wheel theory and Family Health Theory may effectively increase prenatal diagnostic participation and improve the psychological health and pregnancy outcomes of high-risk pregnant women. The active participation and emotional support of family members are expected to be key components in achieving these improvements. This research provides new insights and evidence for the application of mHealth interventions in prenatal screening.
