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

backgroundAdolescent pregnancy remains a critical global health issue, with the World Health Organization reporting a prevalence of 10.3%. Pregnant adolescents aged 10 to 19 face elevated risks of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, and stress. Despite these vulnerabilities, there is a notable lack of effective psychosocial interventions, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study aims to develop and evaluate a culturally tailored psychosocial support intervention to improve mental health outcomes among pregnant adolescents in Iran.

methodsThis mixed-methods study comprises three sequential phases. First, a qualitative study will explore the experiences and perceptions of pregnant adolescents regarding psychosocial support. Second, insights from the qualitative phase will inform the development of a targeted intervention, guided by expert consensus using the Nominal Group Technique. Third, a quantitative phase will assess the intervention's effectiveness through a randomized controlled trial involving 84 pregnant adolescents. Key outcomes will include levels of social support, anxiety, depression, and stress, measured using validated instruments. Data collection will involve semi-structured interviews, expert panels, and pre- and post-intervention assessments. DISCUSSION: The study is expected to advance understanding of the psychosocial needs of pregnant adolescents and provide evidence for culturally sensitive interventions. The findings aim to inform clinical practice and health policy, contributing to improved mental health and overall well-being among this high-risk population.

trial registrationThis study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences (IR.AJUMS.REC.1402.140) and registered with the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials on June 26, 2023 (IRCT20190129042544N1).
