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
backgroundPsychological health may contribute to cardiovascular health (CVH) risk among women of reproductive age, but this relationship remains understudied.
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine the associations of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and perceived stress with adverse CVH risk factors among women of reproductive age after accounting for cumulative social disadvantage.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of women enrolled in the SAFE HEART (Social Determinants of Hypertension Among Women of Reproductive Age) study. Depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and perceived stress were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-2, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2, and Perceived Stress Scale-4, respectively. Adverse CVH risk factors were defined using Life's Essential 8 factors. Multivariable logistic regression models adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, and polysocial risk score.
resultsAmong 361 women (mean age 30.87 ± 6.68 years), psychological distress was highly prevalent. Depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and perceived stress were each associated with higher odds of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and smoking after adjustment for age, race, and cumulative social disadvantage. The strongest association was observed between depressive symptoms and smoking (adjusted OR: 4.71; 95% CI: 2.49-8.91). In contrast, low physical activity, low fruit and vegetable intake, suboptimal sleep duration, and elevated body mass index were not meaningfully associated with psychological health measures. In analyses using continuous psychological health scores, higher depressive, anxiety, and stress scores were associated with greater CVH risk, with the strongest gradient observed for depressive symptoms.
conclusionsPsychological distress was associated with several adverse CVH risk factors independent of cumulative social disadvantage, supporting more comprehensive CVH risk assessment and prevention in women of reproductive age.
