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

Antenatal depression is a common complication of pregnancy, with consequences spanning maternal mental health, obstetric outcomes, and early mother-infant adaptation. Effective early identification requires integrating psychological and contextual information alongside validated screening. This study examined whether adult attachment style and the perception of motherhood are associated with antenatal depressive severity in late pregnancy, beyond socio-demographic factors. In a cross-sectional analysis of 140 third-trimester women, adult attachment (Revised Adult Attachment Scale, R-AAS) and depressive symptoms (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, EPDS) were assessed together with psychosocial indicators (pregnancy planning, partner support, and perception of motherhood). Bivariate associations were tested with χ
