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

Introduction The overturn of Roe v. Wade threatened reproductive rights, leading to bans, delayed access to care, and potentially increased psychological stress surrounding abortion care. We aim to assess the incidence and prevalence of acute stress episodes (ASE) and depressive episode diagnoses in patients after a non-spontaneous abortion. Methods We used a medical record database, TriNetX (TriNetX, LLC, Cambridge, MA), to assess the incidence and prevalence of depressive episodes (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification {ICD-10-CM}=F32) and acute stress episodes (ICD-10-CM=F43.0, F43.9, and F43.11) in patients who received non-spontaneous abortions across 66 US healthcare organizations. We used relative risk with 95% confidence intervals to compare outcomes across three periods: pre-COVID (July 2017-2019), COVID (July 2020-2022), and post-Roe v. Wade (pRvW, July 2022-2024).
