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

Depression during pregnancy is linked to reduced use and adherence to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), increasing HIV risk. However, few studies explore how interpersonal factors shape depressive symptoms in pregnant women. We surveyed 110 pregnant women in Cape Town, South Africa, assessing depression and three interpersonal constructs: reproductive autonomy, dyadic trust, and relationship power. Participants had a mean age of 25.7 years and a mean gestational age of 29.3 weeks. In the multivariable model, decreased reproductive autonomy in decision-making remained a significant predictor of increased depression symptom severity (
