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
Anxiety is a significant mental health challenge for women of reproductive age worldwide, often contributing to broader psychological issues. However, research on anxiety prevalence among this demographic, particularly in Bangladesh, remains limited. This study addresses this gap by identifying potential predictors of anxiety among married women in Bangladesh. Using data from the nationally representative Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2022, the generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7) scale was employed to assess anxiety levels. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including one-way ANOVA and stepwise multiple regression, were conducted to identify key predictors. The findings reveal that 25.8% of married women in Bangladesh experience mild to severe anxiety, with 4.1% reporting moderate to severe anxiety. A six-factor model derived from stepwise multiple regression explained 17.3% of the variance in anxiety levels. The most significant predictor was a history of terminated pregnancy, accounting for 6.8% of the variance (
