Positive psychology-based intervention programme for postpartum depression among pregnant women within the primary healthcare system: protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map.

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.

Abstract
introductionThe prevalence of postpartum depression in China has been steadily increasing, and community-based interventions are considered an important measure to address this issue. This study aims to design a community intervention programme for postpartum depression based on positive psychology, tailored to the characteristics of postpartum depression and the intervention needs, while integrating primary healthcare practices in the community setting. A cluster randomised controlled trial will be employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing the risk of postpartum depression among women. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This study will develop and refine the positive psychology-based intervention programme through the integration of qualitative interviews and a literature review. A cluster randomised controlled trial will be conducted, with community primary healthcare service centres as the unit of randomisation and pregnant women as participants. The control group will receive usual primary healthcare support, while the intervention group will receive positive psychology intervention-including six structured online positive psychology intervention sessions with videos and materials, and optional one-on-one consultations-in addition to usual primary healthcare. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale will be used to assess the risk of postpartum depression in participants, with variables including postpartum depressive symptoms, anxiety and stress. Outcome measures will be evaluated using questionnaires and data from maternal and child electronic health records. Data will be analysed based on both the intention-to-treat principle and the per-protocol principle. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China (approval no. S127). The findings will be disseminated through presentations at relevant academic conferences and publications in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06770244.
