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

Anxiety during pregnancy is a significant maternal mental health problem among working women due to occupational stress and pregnancy- related physiological changes. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the effectiveness of guided imagery in reducing anxiety among pregnant working women in Vadodara, Gujarat. Hence, a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was used among 50 participants and anxiety was measured using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7). The mean anxiety score decreased significantly from 24.36 to 16.08 after the intervention (p < 0.001). Thus, we show that guided imagery may serve as a simple and effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce anxiety during pregnancy.
