Postpartum depression among women with pre-eclampsia and eclampsia in Tanzania; a call for integrative intervention.

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
backgroundPostpartum depression (PPD) complicates maternal wellbeing, maternal-infant bonding, and cognitive function in children and woman's relationship with her partner. Clinical observations suggest a higher risk of postpartum depression among those women with pre-eclampsia and eclampsia compared to the general population. However, the evidence is inconsistent and not from settings similar to Tanzanian. This study aimed to determine the magnitude and risk factors for PPD among women diagnosed with pre-eclampsia or eclampsia at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH), Tanzania.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted among 390 women who had pre-eclampsia or eclampsia during pregnancy attending postnatal care clinic at MNH. PPD was assessed using Edinburg postnatal depression scoring scale (EPDS). Face to face interviews was conducted and data was analysed using descriptive and logistic regression analysis to address the two respective objectives.
resultsPPD was prevalent among 20.5% of women who had pre-eclampsia or eclampsia but varied with severity. Factors associated with PPD included young age (AOR = 10.13 95% CI 1.99-52.02), being a single mother (AOR = 3.18 95% CI 1.02-9.95), having a lower level of education (AOR = 3.83 95% CI 1.45-10.16), having a perinatal death (AOR = 5.14 95% CI 2.53-10.45), lack of family support (AOR = 7.06 95% CI 1.25-39.90), and experience of stressful event during pregnancy (AOR = 15.14 95% CI 2.38-96.19).
conclusionOne in five women with pre-eclampsia or eclampsia had PPD and the magnitude increased with the severity of the disease condition. To address PPD, efforts should be done to screen and provide treatment to pregnant women presenting with pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, especially those with young age, low education level, single marital status, perinatal loss, lack of family support, and those reported to have a stressful event during pregnancy.
