Risk factors for postpartum depression after cesarean section: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in PeerJ, 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
Background: The incidence of cesarean section (CS) is increasing each year and may be associated with an increased risk of postpartum depression (PPD). Although studies have examined the association between cesarean delivery and postpartum depression, the associated risk factors have not been fully investigated. This study aims to identify key risk factors for planned and emergency cesarean delivery through meta-analysis to help develop clinical prevention strategies. Methods: We searched multiple databases, including CNKI, Wan Fang, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, for studies published from the inception of these databases through January 8, 2025. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and standardized mean difference (SMD) and ratio of ratios (OR) were used to assess the strength of association between different risk factors and postpartum depression, when I Result: Nine articles ( Conclusion: In summary, age, first-time pregnancy status, education level, and antenatal depression and anxiety scores are important risk factors for postpartum depression following cesarean delivery. Identifying and addressing these factors could provide valuable insights for the prevention and management of postpartum depression.
