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.

The relationship between a pre-existing maternal dangerous world belief (BDW Methods: This cohort data were from the Singapore PREconception Study of Long-Term Maternal and Child Outcomes, including 90 complete cases and 373 imputed cases. Multiple linear regression detected longitudinal associations between BDW Results: There were total associations of BDW Conclusions: Early interventions for pre-existing maternal depressive symptoms and BDW are critical to protect maternal and preschooler mental health during crises. Interventions prioritizing household conflict, alongside crises-related stress, livelihood impacts, and media exposure, may be beneficial for susceptible preschoolers and their mothers during crises.
