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

The postpartum period presents a critical window for maternal health, yet it is often characterized by limited clinical follow-up. This study evaluated the feasibility of implementing a mobile health (mHealth) system for remote monitoring of Blood Pressure (BP) and mental health among postpartum individuals. A total of 98 postpartum participants were enrolled, of whom 60 with complete and verifiable data were monitored for up to 12 weeks via the MOYO-Mom platform, with all participants self-identified as African Americans. In addition to evaluating user engagement and adherence to the study protocol, associations were examined between depressive symptoms, measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and key variables including BP, age, and Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP). Of the enrolled cohort, 45 participants contributed 727 valid home BP measurements and 44 completed the EPDS at least once, providing longitudinal physiological and mental-health data for analysis. Findings from this study indicate that lower systolic BP was significantly associated with higher EPDS scores (
