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: Women residing in urban slums are disproportionately affected by common mental disorders (CMDs), often due to socioeconomic adversity and limited access to healthcare. In India, mental health among married women in deprived urban settings remains underexplored. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of probable CMDs and explore psychosocial determinants influencing mental health among married women residing in the urban slums of Uttarakhand. Materials and Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted from January to March 2022 among married women aged 18-45 years living in the slums of Dehradun and Haridwar districts. Quantitative data were collected using the WHO self-reporting questionnaire (SRQ-20) through a cross-sectional survey ( Results: The prevalence of probable CMD was 22%. Somatic symptoms such as poor sleep, being tired all the time, poor digestion, and stomach discomfort were significantly associated with CMD ( Conclusion: Psychosocial distress is prevalent among married slum-dwelling women and is shaped by age, poverty, and gender-based violence. Integration of mental health services into primary care and targeted community interventions is crucial to address CMDs in this vulnerable group.
