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
Background: Common mental health disorders among pregnant women-including anxiety, insomnia, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-significantly impair maternal well-being, quality of life, and pregnancy outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and influencing factors (specifically adverse pregnancy history and demographics) of anxiety, insomnia, and PTSD to inform targeted interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 897 pregnant women in China from June 9, 2024, to June 9, 2025. Participants completed validated questionnaires: a general information form, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R). Adverse pregnancy history was defined to include miscarriage, stillbirth, and preterm birth. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing mental health outcomes. Results: Among 897 participants, the prevalence of clinically significant symptoms was: anxiety 13.9% (n=125, GAD-7 ≥10), insomnia 28.4% (n=255, ISI ≥8), and PTSD 24.1% (n=216, IES-R ≥33). The mean scores were: GAD-7 (5.64 ± 4.28), ISI (6.83 ± 5.25), and IES-R (22.43 ± 17.84). Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis indicated that adverse pregnancy history was a significant risk factor for anxiety (β = 1.53, p < 0.05), insomnia (β = 1.22, p < 0.05), and PTSD (β = 5.38, p < 0.05). Conversely, continuous employment and higher family income were inversely associated with symptom severity (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Anxiety, insomnia, and PTSD are prevalent among pregnant women in China. Adverse pregnancy history increases susceptibility, while maintaining active employment may serve as a protective factor. This finding opens new avenues for future effective interventions aimed at alleviating negative emotions among pregnant women.
