Factors Related to Seeking Help for Postpartum Depression: A Secondary Analysis of New York City PRAMS Data.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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
Postpartum depression (PPD) affects 13% of mothers and can have a major impact on their lives and those of their children. However, most cases go undiagnosed, and the risk factors for this underdiagnosis are not yet fully known. We intended to analyze the influence of different sociodemographic and health factors associated with symptoms of postpartum depression. Data from the New York City Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) for 2016-2017 were analyzed. 618 women met the inclusion criterion of recurring depressive symptoms. Most women who experienced PPD symptoms did not seek help. Seeking help was a much better predictor of the diagnosis of PPD when compared to questions regarding symptoms. The most important factors related to a decreased risk of not asking for help were having a previous mental health history and having doctor visits for a chronic illness. The racial group most at risk of not asking for help were Asian/Pacific Islander (API) women. Interventions aimed at reducing the stigma and increasing knowledge of PPD should be incorporated into the antenatal education of expectant mothers, particularly among women who may not have previously sought care for mental or chronic illnesses.
