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
Background Common mental disorders (CMDs) among pregnant women represent a significant public health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Limited comparative data exist on the prevalence of CMDs between rural and urban pregnant populations in Rajasthan, India, which was the focus of this study. Methods A community-based, cross-sectional, comparative study was conducted from May to December 2022 in Jaipur. A total of 400 pregnant women (200 each from rural and urban areas) were recruited through simple random sampling from the field practice areas of the Urban Health Training Centre (UHTC), Jhalana Doongri, and the Rural Health Training Centre (RHTC), Dadiya village. Data collection utilised a structured socio-demographic questionnaire and the validated WHO SRQ-20 for CMD screening, with a cut-off score of ≥8 for CMD-positive. Results The overall prevalence of CMDs was 84 (21.0%) (95% CI: 17.08-24.92). Rural participants demonstrated a higher CMD prevalence at 48 (24.0%) (95% CI: 18.12-29.88) compared to urban participants at 36 (18.0%) (95% CI: 12.71-23.29), with an odds ratio of 1.44. However, this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.177). Significant demographic differences were observed between populations, including caste distribution (p < 0.001), educational attainment (p = 0.001), family structure (p < 0.001), socioeconomic status (p < 0.001), and reproductive history (p < 0.001). Conclusion Both rural and urban pregnant women in Jaipur district experience a substantial CMD burden, necessitating the integration of mental health screening into routine antenatal care. Socio-demographic disparities between populations necessitate context-specific interventions tailored to local risk factors and cultural contexts.
