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
backgroundPolitical unrest heightens women's vulnerability to psychosocial distress and depression. The July 2024 revolution in Bangladesh caused major societal disruption, yet its mental health impact on women is poorly understood. This study assessed the prevalence and associated factors of depression among adult women during this period of unrest.
methodsA cross-sectional design was conducted among 687 adult women using a structured, validated questionnaire. Depression was assessed through a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) with seven self-reported health outcomes. A PHQ-9 score ≥ 10 is considered depression; otherwise, no depression. A binomial Logistic regression and a Pearson Chi-square test were used to identify factors associated with depression.
resultsOverall, 54.87% of women reported depressive symptoms, with the highest prevalence among young women aged 18-34 years, unmarried, university-educated, and urban residents. Nervousness (91.70%), loss of pleasure (86.03%), and anxiety (85.15%) were the most frequently reported symptoms. Social media exposure contributed to depressive symptoms in 23.73% of participants. Nervousness symptoms had significantly (p < 0.05) higher proportions of depression (52.84%). Women with family members directly affected by unrest had 2.15 times higher odds of depression (AOR: 2.15, 95% CI 1.35-3.40). The self-reported symptoms suffocation (AOR = 2.10, 95% CI 1.33-3.32), loss of pleasure (AOR = 3.59, 95% CI 1.91-6.74), and energy loss (AOR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.13-2.55) were significantly associated with higher odds of depression, p < 0.05.
conclusionDuring the July 2024 revolution, Bangladeshi women faced significant psychological distress. Targeted mental health support, monitoring social media impacts, and community counseling in unrest-affected areas are essential, while future research should examine long-term outcomes and effective interventions.
