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

objectivesTo estimate the prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms in females awaiting preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) as well as investigate their associated factors.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 289 female patients awaiting PGD at a large tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information on patient characteristics, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and data on PGD. Independent factors associated with anxiety and depression were identified using multivariable analysis.

resultsThe prevalence of anxiety was 13.5% and that of depressive symptoms was 12.1%. Odds of anxiety were higher among females with a Master's degree (adjusted OR: 14.9, 95% CI: 3.1-72.4,

conclusionAnxiety and depression are prevalent problems among females awaiting PGD. This promotes periodic mental health assessments of individuals on the waiting list, especially those at risk, and early referrals to women's mental health services. Furthermore, these findings may be useful for family physicians and experts in women's health who wish to better understand this problem, particularly in Arab countries.
