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

objectiveTo investigate the relationship between violence and the nutritional status of pregnant women, and whether mental health could be a mediator in this relationship.

designCross-sectional study. Violence and mental health status were investigated using the following questionnaires: WHO-Violence Against Women (WHO-VAW), Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). Demographic, socio-economic, obstetric and lifestyle factors (smoking/alcohol consumption) were also investigated. The nutritional status of the women was assessed by the BMI.

settingData were collected from February 2021 to August 2022 in Araraquara city, Brazil.

participantsFour hundred pregnant women recruited at thirty-four health units and the municipal maternity hospital.

resultsExperience of violence was reported by 52·2 % of the women, and psychological violence in the last 12 months was the most prevalent type of domestic violence (19·5 %). Approximately 43 % of the women showed mental health changes and 59·7 % had a risk of major depression. Women with mental health changes had an increased risk (OR = 2·34) of obesity. Psychological violence in the last 12 months was associated with obesity (

conclusionsThe relationship between psychological violence and obesity during pregnancy was mediated by changes in mental health. This original study shows that nutritional status is not limited to biological factors and highlights the importance of social, mental and psychological factors.
