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

backgroundDespite the link between neuroticism trait and postnatal depression has been confirmed, little is known about the factors that influence this association. This study aimed to examine whether childbirth experience mediated the association between neuroticism trait and postnatal depression, and whether this indirect effect was moderated by perceived social support.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 1686 women within one year postpartum from 38 hospitals in China. Participants completed anonymous questionnaires measuring neuroticism trait, postnatal depression, childbirth experience, perceived social support, and demographic and obstetric variables. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS 4.0.

resultsThe prevalence of postnatal depression among Chinese women was 24.1%, higher than the global pooled prevalence. The results showed a positive correlation between neuroticism trait and postnatal depression, which was partially mediated by childbirth experience. The negative correlation between neuroticism trait and childbirth experience was moderated by perceived social support. Specifically, the negative impact of neuroticism trait on childbirth experience was stronger among women with high perceived social support.

conclusionsOur findings highlight the critical importance of interventions dedicated to improving the childbirth experience, which may help reduce postnatal depression. Moreover, neuroticism and perceived social support are highly correlated and must be considered simultaneously to inform individualized interventions for postnatal depression.
