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: Traumatic births impact women's long-term health, family dynamics, and healthcare systems, underscoring the need for prevention and effective interventions. Despite Italy's universal healthcare, perinatal mental health services and guidelines, especially for childbirth-related PTSD (CB-PTSD), remain underdeveloped. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of CB-PTSD, postpartum depression (PPD), and anxiety in Italian women 6-12 weeks postpartum, and assess the impact of comorbidities on mother-child bonding. Method: The study was part of a broader longitudinal research that involved 175 Italian mothers 6-12 weeks postpartum, recruited from birthing centers. Participants completed measures for childbirth-related PTSD (City BiTS-IT), depression (EPDS), anxiety (PSAS-IT), and mother-child bonding (PBQ). Results: Prevalence rates were 1.1% for CB-PTSD, 18.6% for depression, and 30.2% for anxiety. Depression was significantly associated with anxiety (χ Conclusion: The findings highlight the prevalence and complexity of perinatal psychiatric morbidity, emphasizing the critical need for comprehensive assessment tools tailored to the Italian context. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of maternal mental health challenges during the perinatal period.
