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
BackgroundThe prevalence of obesity has increased alarmingly over the last decades in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Bariatric surgery (BS) is a more effective approach to losing weight than dieting in morbidly obese women. Perinatal depression is a well-known risk to maternal and neonatal health across the globe.ObjectivesTo determine whether bariatric surgery predicts depression among pregnant women in this descriptive cross-sectional study.DesignA descriptive cross-sectional survey study conducted in a major pediatric and maternity hospital in Abu Dhabi, UAE.MethodsForty-one pregnant women with a history of BS who attended a major pediatric and maternity hospital in Abu Dhabi, UAE, between July 2021 and November 2022 were recruited for the study. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to screen the participants for depression symptoms. An analysis of sociodemographic variables and depression scores was performed. Categorical variables were compared using chi-square tests. Continuous variables were compared using independent t-tests, and skewed data using the Mann-Whitney test. The ethical approval of the study was obtained from the Research and Ethics Committee of the hospital (No. RP DAE/2021/102) on 15 June 2021. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to their enrollment in the study.ResultsDepression was present in 46.3% of the participants, among whom 2.7% were experiencing severe depression. The analysis of the EPDS scores between the Roux-en-Y bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) groups indicates a higher EPDS score in the SG group compared to the RYGB group (
