A Qualitative Analysis of Mental Well-Being in Postpartum Narratives Following a High-Risk Pregnancy: The Beautiful Agony.
Article in Journal of midwifery & women's health. 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
introductionMental health, at the opposite end of the spectrum from mental illness, is an important yet understudied aspect of maternal well-being. We sought to characterize aspects of emotional, social, and functional well-being in the postpartum period and perceived facilitators and barriers to mental health following a high-risk pregnancy.
methodsWe conducted 28 in-depth interviews with people 3 to 6 months postpartum who experienced a pregnancy complicated by hypertension or diabetes in Atlanta, Georgia. We conducted a thematic analysis to examine dimensions of mental health and prevalent challenges to attaining it.
resultsParticipants described how social well-being (including interpersonal relationships, functional support, and social support) facilitated positive functioning and emotional well-being. Challenges to well-being included difficulties with infant feeding and care, housing and financial insecurity, and personal health. Facilitators of well-being included robust and positive relationships with female relatives and male partners. Participants described a limited role of the perinatal care team in supporting mental well-being. DISCUSSION: Postpartum mental health is a distinct construct from mental illness that, when adequately supported through family networks and health care teams, can benefit both woman and infant.
