Risk factors for paternal perinatal depression in Chinese advanced maternal age couples: A regression mixture model.
Article in World journal of psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPaternal perinatal depression (PPD) is closely associated with maternal mental health challenges, marital strain, and adverse child developmental outcomes. Despite its significant impact, PPD remains under-recognized in family-centered clinical practice. Concurrently, against the backdrop of rising rates of delayed marriage and China's Maternity Incentive Policy, the proportion of women giving birth at an advanced maternal age is increasing. Nevertheless, research specifically examining PPD among spouses of older mothers remains critically scarce, both in China and globally.
aimTo investigate PPD and its influencing factors in Chinese advanced maternal age families.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 358 participants; it was conducted among fathers of pregnant women of advanced maternal age at five hospitals in the Pearl River Delta region of China from September 2023 to June 2024. Data were collected
resultsThe incidence of PPD was 16.48%, and three profiles were identified: Low-symptomatic (175 cases, 48.89%), monophasic (140 cases, 39.10%), and high-symptomatic (43 cases, 12.01%). The RMM analysis revealed that first pregnancy, low income (< ¥3000/month), part-time work, and a history of abnormal pregnancy were positively associated with the high-symptomatic type (
conclusionPPD incidence is high among Chinese fathers with advanced maternal age partners, and the characteristics of depression are varied. Healthcare practitioners should prioritize individuals with low levels of social support.
