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

Context: Postnatal depression (PND) is a well-known cause of distress among new mothers depicting a significant public health problem affecting women, neonates, and the family.[1] During the postnatal period, there is a rise in the physical and emotional pressure on the mother, and the exhaustion associated with PND may affect her capacity as a mother to provide love and care to the newborn. Aims: To study the relationship between the levels of PND and new mothers' age and birth order of the neonates. Settings and Design: Hospital setting and cross-sectional research design. Methods and Material: The cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 new mothers in the first week of their delivery by administering the Telugu version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Statistical Analysis Used: The data was analyzed using SPSS 27 (2019) for ANOVA, F test, and Chi-square test. Results: The majority (90%) of mothers had moderate PND with EPDS scores between 11-20 and 6% had high PND with EPDS scores between 21-30 and the sample mean EPDS scores ranged from 1.23 to 2.14. The results of the one-way analysis of variance indicated that the sample did not differ significantly ( Conclusions: The findings of the study reiterates that the levels of PND among new mothers had no relationship with their age but showed a strong relationship with their neonate's birth order and recommends screening new mothers for PND.
