Exploring the relationship between postnatal depressive symptoms and parental burnout from the perspective of the population and individual level.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundParental burnout has become increasingly common, which can lead to a range of adverse outcomes. Postnatal mothers are vulnerable and mothers with high postpartum depression scores may be more prone to parental burnout. This study aims to investigate the association between postnatal depressive symptoms and parental burnout at both the population and individual levels.
methodsThis study comprised a cross-sectional study design and participants were recruited using convenience sampling. A total of 560 postnatal mothers answered a questionnaire on their general information, postnatal depressive symptoms and parental burnout. Multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression analysis were used to examine the association between postnatal depressive symptoms and parental burnout. Furthermore, latent class analysis was used to identify subtypes of parental burnout. Finally, binary logistic regression was used to examine the differences in postnatal depressive symptoms between latent classes comprising parental burnout.
resultsThe prevalence of burnout was approximately 10%. At the population level, postnatal depressive symptoms were positively associated with parental burnout (all P < 0.05). At the individual level, two latent classes were identified (i.e., "low parental burnout class" and "high parental burnout class"). Moreover, mothers with postnatal depressive symptoms were more likely to be associated with high parental burnout (PB) class than the low parental burnout class (OR = 1.12, 95% CI:1.03 to 1.23).
conclusionThis study found a positive relationship between postnatal depressive symptoms and parental burnout. It provided evidence for developing depression-targeted programs for parental burnout, which could bring great benefits for both mothers and infants.
