Risk of postpartum depression among women with endometriosis: the Norwegian mother, father and child cohort study (MoBa).

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
Women with endometriosis have a higher burden of anxiety and depression. Whether they are at increased risk of postpartum depression (PPD) remains unclear. We aimed to compare the risk of PPD between women with and without endometriosis and to explore mediation by previous history of major depression and infertility. In a population-based cohort study, we compared 1,159 singleton pregnancies to women with self-reported endometriosis and 74,590 pregnancies to women without endometriosis. We calculated a djusted risk ratios (aRR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) using multivariable log-binomial regression, adjusting for age, body mass index, education and income. Mediation analyses assessed the indirect effect of any history of major depression or infertility. Women with endometriosis had a higher risk of PPD (aRR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.15-1.55). Mediation analyses indicated that a large part of this association was explained by a higher lifetime prevalence of major depression among women with endometriosis (natural direct effect of endometriosis: aRR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.00-1.36; natural indirect effect of any history of major depression: aRR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.08-1.20), with 49.3% proportion mediated. Infertility demonstrated a negative natural indirect effect on the association between endometriosis and PPD (aRR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.81-0.94). Women with endometriosis had an elevated risk of PPD which was largely explained by a higher lifetime prevalence of major depression. Our findings suggest that they constitute a high-risk group and could benefit from closer follow-up to facilitate early identification and intervention.
