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

Background: Coping styles and psychological capital are both associated with the mental health of pregnant women. However, the relationships among psychological capital, coping styles, and prenatal depression in pregnant women have not yet received sufficient attention. This study examines how coping styles mediate the link between psychological capital and prenatal depression in pregnant women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2024 to December 2024. Pregnant women ( Results: Prenatal depression was detected in 34.70% of participants. Both psychological capital and positive coping strategies were significantly negatively correlated with prenatal depression ( Conclusion: Psychological capital can not only directly affect prenatal depression, but it can also alleviate it by increasing positive coping or suppressing negative coping. Healthcare professionals should pay attention to the mental health status of pregnant women, improve the level of psychological capital, and guide positive responses to improve prenatal depression.
