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
Background: Common mental disorders (CMDs) such as depression and anxiety are prevalent during pregnancy. CMDs are public health concerns because of the implications for the health of both the mother and the fetus. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of CMDs and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (UoG CSH), Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 26 September to 28 October 2023 among pregnant women attending antenatal care at the UoG CSH. Study participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using pre-designed tools like the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and the Oslo-3 Social Support Scale through face-to-face interviews. The collected data were entered into Epi data version 4.6.02 and analyzed using STATA version 14. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with CMDs. Results: Of the 407 pregnant women, 170 (41.8%) fulfilled the criteria for CMDs. In the multivariable analysis, financial instability (AOR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.02, 2.69), poor social support (AOR = 2.60, 95% CI: 1.41, 4.81), emotional or physical abuse (AOR = 3.86, 95% CI: 1.79, 8.30), history of mental illness (AOR = 4.00, 95% CI: 1.24, 12.86), and unwanted pregnancy (AOR = 3.02, 95% CI: 1.02, 8.94) were significantly associated with CMDs. Conclusion and recommendation: This study indicated that the prevalence of CMDs was high among pregnant women attending antenatal care at the UoG CSH. Those who had financial instability, poor social support, emotional or physical abuse, history of mental illness, and unwanted pregnancy were prone to CMDs. Therefore, early screening and monitoring of CMDs among pregnant women are important to reduce possible negative impacts on the health of women.
