Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Interventions of Postpartum Depression in Refugees and Asylum-Seeking Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
introductionRefugee women are at an increased risk of developing postpartum depression (PPD) due to a combination of various psychosocial stressors. This systematic review aimed to outline the prevalence of PPD among refugee women and explore related risk factors and interventions currently in practice.
methodsA search was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Core Collection (Web of Science) for articles published until August 2022, yielding 1,678 records.
resultsThe prevalence of refugee and asylum-seeking women was 22.5% (n = 657/2,922), while the prevalence of non-refugee/asylum-seeking women with PPD was 17.5% (n = 400/2,285). Refugee/asylum-seeking women face a unique set of issues such as domestic abuse, separation and lack of support, stress, pre-migrational experiences, prior history of mental illness, low income, and discrimination. Refugee/asylum-seeking women may benefit from support groups, individual support, self-coping mechanisms, and familial support.
conclusionThis review identifies that a higher prevalence of PPD in refugee and asylum-seeking women compared to other groups can potentially be attributed to the unique risk factors they face. This warrants the need for further research as studies on interventions for this condition are limited among this population.
