Observational study in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2026. 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
purposeThis study was conducted to compare psychosocial health and anxiety levels of high-risk and healthy pregnant women.
methodsThe study is a observational case-control type and was implemented in Türkiye between September 1, 2022 and July 31, 2023. The study sample consisted of pregnant women diagnosed with high-risk pregnancy (n = 255) and healthy pregnant women (n = 275). The Pregnancy Psychosocial Health Assessment Scale (PPHAS) and the Pregnancy-related Anxiety Scale (PrAS) were used to assess the psychosocial health and anxiety levels of the participants in the study.
resultsIt was determined that those with high-risk pregnancies had higher total PrAS scores (p < 0.001, effect size = 1.551) and lower total PPHAS scores (p < 0.001, effect size = 0.514) compared to healthy pregnant women. In the study, it was determined that as the PPHAS score decreased in both the high-risk and healthy pregnant groups, the PrAS score increased. As a result of the linear regression analysis, it was determined that high-risk pregnancy (p < 0.001), experiencing a stressful event during pregnancy (p < 0.001), and regular antenatal control (p = 0.005) affected psychosocial health during pregnancy. Moreover, it was found that high-risk pregnancy (p < 0.001), regular antenatal control (p = 0.014), relationship status with the spouse (p = 0.013), and psychosocial health level during pregnancy (p < 0.001) affected the anxiety level during pregnancy.
conclusionAccording to the results of this study, high-risk pregnant women are at risk in terms of psychosocial health and anxiety. It is recommended that healthcare professionals assess women with high-risk pregnancies for psychosocial health and anxiety. Midwives should use assessment tools, provide counseling, and provide holistic care to protect the psychosocial health of high-risk pregnant women and to diagnose psychological distress at an early stage.
