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.

Abstract

Pregnancy is characterized by pronounced neuroplasticity and heightened risk for psychopathology. While previous research has primarily examined postpartum depression, less work has investigated changes in internalizing symptoms measured dimensionally across the peripartum period. Furthermore, limited research has identified functional changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) across pregnancy, a brain area implicated in psychopathology. Understanding the dynamic changes in internalizing symptoms and PFC neuroconnectivity throughout pregnancy and their interrelations is crucial for early identification of perinatal psychopathology. This pre-registered longitudinal study examined changes in and associations between internalizing symptoms and PFC functional connectivity throughout the first and third trimesters of pregnancy. Pregnant individuals recruited from a community sample of females engaged in prenatal care (N = 60, M
