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
purposeTo support digital self-management of perinatal depression and anxiety, this study explored perspectives on, and support needs for, a spouse-inclusive digital intervention among perinatal women with depression and anxiety and their spouses.
methodsThe data were obtained from in-depth interviews with 20 perinatal women and 15 men who were spouses of perinatal women and attended antenatal or postnatal check-ups at selected obstetrics and gynecology clinics in Pahang and Kuala Lumpur.
resultsThree main themes and seven subthemes were identified: adjusting to a new period of life, dealing with perinatal distress, and mobilizing needs and support. Perinatal women emphasized the importance of spousal support in managing emotional distress, whereas spouses described both their supportive role and the challenges they faced in providing support. Both women and spouses recommended a user-friendly online intervention for learning about maternal mental health. They identified the need for education on coping strategies, self-screening, perinatal care, childcare management, communication skills, and the signs and symptoms of depression and anxiety.
conclusionMost women and spouses agreed that a digital intervention could help address emotional distress, depression, and anxiety, particularly because conventional approaches may be limited by high attrition rates and social barriers.
