Assessment of anxiety and psychological stress among expectant parents during pregnancy: a scoping review.
Article in Revista brasileira de enfermagem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesto map, in the scientific literature, instruments used to assess anxiety and stress among expectant parents during pregnancy.
methodswe conducted a scoping review guided by the JBI and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, searching the databases CINAHL, MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, and the Open Access Scientific Repositories of Portugal. Quantitative studies were included with no restrictions on time or language.
resultswe identified 16 instruments (10 for anxiety and 6 for stress), predominantly applied to pregnant women in the third trimester.
conclusionsstudies involving expectant fathers are scarce. To better understand their feelings and needs, it is essential to apply instruments that assess anxiety and stress, thereby supporting anticipatory care. Developing and validating instruments with expectant parents (both men and women) across the trimesters of pregnancy will broaden professionals' and the public's knowledge on this issue.
