Postpartum Help-Seeking: The Role of Stigma and Mental Health Literacy.

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 is the most common complication associated with child-bearing. The current study investigated attitudes toward professional psychological help-seeking and the effects of stigma and mental health literacy on postpartum women recruited from social media (N = 326).
methodHierarchical linear regression was used to analyze the data and the interaction effect of stigma and mental health literacy.
resultsStigma was negatively associated with attitudes toward professional psychological help-seeking, while mental health literacy was positively associated with attitudes toward professional psychological help-seeking. The interaction effect was not statistically significant. The results yield implications for screening practices and reducing stigma for mental health care in the postpartum period.
