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 aim of the present study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Greek version of Tilburg Pregnancy Distress Scale (TPDS). The study was conducted from August 2021 to November 2022 and included 196 healthy pregnant adult women. The study sample was drawn from two maternity clinics, and included pregnant adult women from the Second Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the "Aretaieion" University Hospital and the private Obstetrics and Gynecology Center "Woman Clinic," in Athens, Greece. Study participants were asked to fill out the TPDS, to assess pregnancy distress, as well as a demographic questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale 21. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.85 for the Greek TPDS version, 0.870 for the "Negative Affect" factor, and 0.818 for the "Partner Involvement" factor. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.841 and the significance of Bartlett's test of sphericity was p < 0.001. Exploratory factor analysis displayed two extracted factors with eigenvalue >1. The Greek version of the TPDS can be considered a reliable instrument for measuring pregnancy-related distress in women.
