The impact of obstetric violence on postpartum quality of life through psychological pathways.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pregnancy and childbirth as important events in women's lives should be guided based on quality and humanized principles. This study aimed to test a conceptual model considering the interrelated role of obstetric violence, mental health, self-esteem, and PTSD on the postpartum quality of life (PQOL) using path analysis. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 385 parturient women who have given birth from January to May 2022 using the convenience sampling method. Data were collected using a socio-demographic checklist, EPREVO, DASS-21, PCL-5, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and PQOL scales. Path analysis was applied to generate specified patterns of causal relationships between variables and to determine the type of relationships between predictor and response variables using LISREL software ver.8.8. We found that obstetric violence (β = - 0.659), self-esteem (β = 0.223), mental health (β = - 0.396), and PTSD (β = 0.345) are the main predictors of postpartum QoL. In addition to its direct effect, obstetric violence can impress the PQOL through the effect on mental health (β = 0.533), self-esteem (β = 0.222), and PTSD (β = 0.229), indirectly. Our finding highlighted the negative effect of obstetric violence on mental health, self-esteem, PTSD, and PQOL. Therefore, it is recommended that policymakers and managers adopt programs to promote respectful maternal care and prevent obstetric violence to prevent the occurrence of adverse effects in parturient women.
