Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundObesity can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression (DAS). Bariatric surgery is often used to treat severe obesity, but it may also increase anxiety and depression. It's unclear if pregnant women with bariatric surgery experience more depression and anxiety than pregnant women with obesity and without surgery history. This study intends to compare the levels of DAS during pregnancy for women with bariatric surgery and those who have obesity. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study measured DAS using the DASS-21questionnaire (Depression, Stress, and Anxiety Scale) in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy in 76 women who experience bariatric surgery and 73 women with obesity between May 2022 and January 2024. Data analysis was conducted using independent and paired
resultsNo significant differences were observed in the average scores of DAS among the two groups (
conclusionPregnancy following bariatric surgery does not necessarily accompany an increase in DAS level compared to women without a surgical history. However, occupation, unplanned pregnancy, income level, and hospitalization could be influential factors in DAS.
