A systematic review of community-based interventions to address perinatal mental health.
Synthesis in Seminars in perinatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT07642947 (A Digitally Enhanced Model of Peer Doula Support for Substance Use Disorder and Peripartum Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
Little is known about the scope and effectiveness of community-based interventions to address maternal perinatal mental health in the US. We searched PubMed, CINAHL, and PsychINFO in January 2024 to conduct a systematic review of studies using community-based interventions for maternal mental health from pregnancy to 1 year postpartum in the US. We reviewed 22 quantitative studies, and assessed methodological quality and effectiveness of interventions. Most were randomized trials (n = 16) with strong or good methodological quality. The majority of the studies included racially and ethnically diverse participants (n = 14), delivered interventions through community health workers, nurses, midwives, and doulas (n = 18), and had mixed effectiveness of interventions (n = 14). Limitations included small sample sizes, interventions not specifically developed for mental health, limited community involvement in designing interventions, and focus on participants with no mental health issues. Community partners augment this review with lived experience and recommendations for research and clinical practice.
