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
Objectives: Adolescent pregnancy remains a significant public health challenge with multifaceted physical, psychological, and social consequences. This study aimed to assess the factors associated with the quality of life (QOL) in pregnant women under 18 years old in western Iran. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted with 300 pregnant women (150 adolescents <18 years and 150 adults aged 18-35) attending comprehensive health centers in Hamadan, Iran. Data were collected using validated questionnaires, including the WHOQOL-BREF for QoL, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Data were analyzed using Stata software at an error level of < 0.05. Results: Adolescent mothers had significantly lower perceived social support (23.92 ± 10.01 vs. 26.12 ± 6.94, p=0.029) and lower QoL scores in the physical (55.84% vs. 67.19 %, p<0.001), psychological (69.32% vs. 82.55 %, p<0.001), and social (62.16% vs. 71.91 %, p=0.006) domains compared to adult mothers. For the adolescent group, multivariable regression identified higher perceived social support (β=0.062, p<0.001) and intended pregnancy (β=0.669, p=0.015) as significant predictors of better QoL. Conclusions: This cross-sectional comparative study highlights the distinct psychosocial characteristics of adolescent pregnancy, with young mothers appearing to experience lower levels of social support and poorer quality of life in key physical, psychological, and social domains compared to their adult counterparts.
