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
objectivesThe study aimed to compare anxiety, stress, sleep quality, occupational pattern and leisure satisfaction of pregnant women in different trimesters.
methodsPregnant women who came for routine check-ups (n = 156) were evaluated in clinics and family health centers. The pregnant women's anxiety, perceived stress levels, sleep quality, occupational pattern, occupational balance, and leisure time satisfaction were measured using the Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale (PASS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory (PSQI), Modified Activity Questionnaire (MOQ), Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ11-T), and Leisure Satisfaction Scale (LSS), respectively.
resultsThe PASS and PSS total scores in the second and third trimesters were similar, yet higher than in the first trimester (F = 13.496, F = 39.401; p < 0.001, respectively). The PSQI and QBQ11-T total scores were highest in the first trimester and gradually decreased in the second and third trimesters (F = 25.029, F = 30.108; p < 0.001, respectively). The mean sports repetition was similar in the second and third trimesters and lower than in the first trimester (F = 14.087, p < 0.001). The LSS total scores were similar in the second and third trimesters and lower than in the first trimester (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: The anxiety and perceived stress levels increased, and occupational balance and sleep quality deteriorated gradually throughout the trimesters. It may be important for the pregnancy curriculum for health professionals working with pregnant women to consider the impact of the changes on participation in daily life.
