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
backgroundAntenatal depression is a disabling mental disorder among pregnant women and may cause adverse outcomes for both the mother and the offspring. Early identification and intervention of antenatal depression can help to prevent adverse outcomes. However, there have been few population-based studies focusing on the association of social and obstetric risk factors with antenatal depression in China.
aimTo assess the sociodemographic and obstetric factors of antenatal depression and compare the network structure of depressive symptoms across different risk levels based on a large Chinese population.
methodsThe cross-sectional survey was conducted in Shenzhen, China from 2020 to 2024. Antenatal depression was assessed using the Chinese version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), with a score of ≥ 13 indicating the presence of probable antenatal depression. The
resultsAmong the 44220 pregnant women, the prevalence of probable antenatal depression was 4.4%. An age ≤ 24 years, a lower level of education (≤ 12 years), low or moderate economic status, having a history of mental disorders, being in the first trimester, being a primipara, unplanned pregnancy, and pregnancy without pre-pregnancy screening were found to be associated with antenatal depression (all
conclusionThis study suggested that the prevalence of antenatal depression was 4.4%. Several social and obstetric factors were identified as risk factors for antenatal depression. EPDS8 ("sad or miserable") and EPDS4 ("anxious or worried") are pivotal targets for clinical intervention to alleviate the burden of antenatal depression. Early identification of high-risk groups is crucial for the development and implementation of intervention strategies to improve the overall quality of life for pregnant women.
