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
objectivesPostpartum depression (PPD) is a prevalent complication of childbearing, with numerous risk factors associated with its onset. Although the risk factors for PPD among postpartum women have been studied, the mechanisms underlying these factors remain inadequately understood. This study aimed to investigate the direct and mediating roles of different coping styles in the relationship between dyadic adjustment status and PPD among women 6 weeks postdelivery.
designSingle-centre, cross-sectional study.
settingA tertiary care setting in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, China, from July 2022 to January 2023.
participantsThe study involved 626 women 6 weeks post-delivery. OUTCOME MEASURES: The Dyadic Adjustment Scale, the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) were used to evaluate the dyadic adjustment status, coping styles and the depressive condition of postpartum women, respectively. Data analysis encompassed correlation and mediation analyses based on structural equation modelling.
resultsEPDS scores were significantly correlated with all four dimensions of dyadic adjustments status as well as with both positive and negative coping styles. Dyadic consensus (
conclusionOur findings suggest that both positive and negative coping styles mediate the relationship between dyadic adjustment status and PPD, especially concerning dyadic satisfaction and dyadic cohesion.
