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

purposeThe aim of this study is to better understand perinatal mental health research priorities of neurotypical and neurodivergent people.

methodsA co-designed mixed-methods survey was conducted as part of the Wellbeing Across Neurotypes: Depression and Anxiety (WANDA) study. 709 participants in the United Kingdom (UK) quantitatively rated and ranked research topics within perinatal mental health, with 253 also providing qualitative data.

resultsThe top research priorities were (1) interventions and (2) diagnosis for perinatal mental health problems for birthing people and (3) how these impact parent-infant relationships. Qualitative data revealed additional topics of importance including healthcare experiences, trauma, and neurodiversity. CONSLUSIONS: These results suggest complex, multilevel barriers to accessing diagnosis and support in the UK.
