Effects of group hypnotic intervention on pregnant mental health and delivery mode: a retrospective analysis.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent during pregnancy, with psychological interventions being recommended as the first-line treatment. Objective: This study examined the effects of group hypnotic intervention on prenatal depression, anxiety symptoms, and delivery mode. Methods: In a single-center retrospective observational design, 237 pregnant women were included. The intervention group received group hypnotic sessions, while the control group received standard prenatal care. Baseline sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were recorded, including scores on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), and heart rate variability (low-frequency/high-frequency ratio [LF/HF]). Measurements were collected at three gestational timepoints (pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 38 weeks' gestation). Between-group and within-group differences in symptom scores and LF/HF were analyzed, and a logistic regression analysis assessed the association between the intervention and the delivery mode. Results: Within-group analyses demonstrated sustained improvement in depression/anxiety symptoms ( Conclusion: Group hypnotic intervention effectively alleviated prenatal depression and anxiety symptoms and improved vaginal delivery outcomes, suggesting its integration into routine prenatal mental healthcare protocols.
