Developing and improvement from depression at 4 years after childbirth: insights from the Fukushima Health Management Survey.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to identify trends and factors in postpartum depression after the Fukushima nuclear accident among women who participated in the Fukushima Health Management Survey (FHMS). We analyzed the prevalence of depressive symptoms and concerns about radiation exposure using FHMS data from FY2011-FY2018. We also analyzed the characteristics of women who did not have depressive symptoms in the postpartum period but had developed them at 4 years after childbirth and women with depressive symptoms in the postpartum period but had improved at 4 years after childbirth. In this survey, depressive symptoms were evident in 23.1% of women in the postpartum period. Factors significantly associated with developing depressive symptoms at 4 years after childbirth were younger maternal age, not being healthy, lacking maternal confidence, history of mental illness, and not intending to become pregnant again because of radiation effects. Improvement from initial depressive symptoms at 4 years after childbirth was associated with being very healthy, having maternal confidence, no medical history, no history of mental illness, having received sufficient perinatal care, and intending to become pregnant again. Our results suggest the need for comprehensive assessment of depression risks for prevention and thorough continuous professional care for disaster affected women with postpartum depression.
