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
Postnatal depression is a common maternal mental health problem with substantial public health implications, yet limited attention has been given to pregnant women's perceptions and responses to it. There are few studies explore pregnant women's Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) towards postnatal depression. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of pregnant women regarding postnatal depression in Henan Province, China, between June and November 2023. A random sampling method was used to recruit eligible pregnant women attending antenatal care. This cross-sectional survey was conducted between June and November 2023 at the Henan Provincial People's Hospital among pregnant women. Demographic information and KAP scores were collected by a self-designed questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted using R version 4.3.1. A total of 500 (95.97%) valid questionnaires were enrolled, with mean age of 30.78 ± 4.09 years. The mean KAP scores were 14.91 ± 2.385 (possible range: 0-20), 41.06 ± 4.160 (possible range: 11-55), 45.34 ± 7.309 (possible range: 13-65), respectively. The structural equation modeling results showed that residence and education, number of deliveries had direct effect on knowledge. Knowledge, education, and family relationships had direct effect on attitude. Knowledge, attitude, and experiencing mental illness, number of deliveries and education had direct effect on practice. Pregnant women had adequate knowledge, positive attitude, and suboptimal practice towards postnatal depression. The findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions, family engagement, and a focus on mental health experiences to enhance clinical practices in addressing postnatal depression among pregnant women.
