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
Introduction: Perinatal loss is a highly distressing life event that may lead to severe grief reactions. Individual differences in attachment patterns may contribute to variability in perinatal grief severity. In this study, the association between attachment patterns and the severity of perinatal grief was examined, and the roles of psychological and clinical factors were evaluated. Methods: The sample consisted of 140 women with a lifetime history of perinatal loss. Perinatal grief severity was assessed using the Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS). Attachment-related variables were measured with the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) and the Experiences in Close Relationships -Revised Scale (ECR-R). Depressive and anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and perceived social support using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Associations were examined using correlation analyses. Separate analyses of covariance were conducted to evaluate the effects of maternal and paternal bonding categories on perinatal grief severity while controlling for depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, perceived social support, and the time elapsed since the most recent perinatal loss. Mediation analyses were conducted using PROCESS. Results: Perinatal grief severity was positively correlated with depressive and anxiety symptoms. Maternal and paternal bonding categories were not directly associated with grief severity after adjustment. However, depressive symptoms significantly mediated the associations between maternal neglectful parenting and perinatal grief severity, and between paternal affectionless control and perinatal grief severity. No significant mediation effects were observed via anxiety symptoms. Conclusion: Attachment-related vulnerabilities appear to influence perinatal grief severity primarily through depressive symptoms rather than direct effects, highlighting the importance of assessing and addressing depression following perinatal loss.
