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
Introduction: Common mental disorders (CMD) cause marked emotional distress and interfere with daily function among postpartum women. In addition, the negative attitude towards mental disorders and their treatments prevents the women from seeking mental healthcare. Very little is known about CMD among women, especially in the postpartum period. This study, therefore, aimed at assessing the prevalence of CMD and its associated factors among women in the postpartum period at Kersa and Haramaya Health and Demographic Surveillance Sites (HDSS) sites, in eastern Ethiopia, between 1 July 2021 and 28 February 2022. Methods: This study employed a community-based cross-sectional study design using a quantitative method and was conducted in Kersa and Haramaya HDSS among 1,016 postpartum women. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data through face-to-face interviews about the variables related to sociodemographic and economic, clinical, psychosocial, substance use, and obstetric complication characteristics. The CMD was assessed by using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20). A bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed. All the variables with a Result: The prevalence of postpartum CMD was 23.84% (95% CI: 21.21-26.47). Among pregnant women who had CMD, only 103 (27.7%) had CMD and persisted to the postpartum period. Poor social support [adjusted OR (aOR): 1.88, 95% CI: 1.28-2.74], wealth index in the first quantile (aOR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.06-2.39), presence of obstetric complication (aOR: 7.74, 95% CI: 4.38-13.69), and cesarean delivery (aOR: 5.01, 95% CI: 1.14-22.13) were the factors that showed a statistically significant association with postpartum CMD. Conclusion: One in every four study participants had CMD, which was higher than in studies conducted in Ethiopia among postpartum women. Social support, wealth index, obstetric complications, and mode of delivery were the factors with statistically significant associations. Postpartum women may benefit from the early diagnosis and treatment of CMD at the community and the primary healthcare level, and the integration of mental healthcare into maternal health services.
