Optimizing Psychological Health Across the Perinatal Period: An Update on Maternal Cardiovascular Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.
Review in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 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
Perinatal psychological health conditions (eg, perinatal depression, anxiety) are some of the leading causes of maternal mortality in the United States and are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, long-term cardiovascular outcomes, and intergenerational effects on offspring neurodevelopment. These risks underscore the importance of addressing maternal psychological health as a key determinant of perinatal cardiovascular health. Thus, it is vital to recognize the spectrum of perinatal psychological health and to provide guidance for both patients and clinicians on screening and management options across the perinatal period. In this scientific statement from the American Heart Association, we redefine maternal cardiovascular health to include psychological health, provide robust evidence on the association of psychological health with cardiovascular outcomes, highlight the social and environmental underpinnings, and finally, offer guidance about how to integrate psychological health into maternal cardiovascular health with a specific focus on the perinatal period (ie, pregnancy through 1 year postpartum). We also describe opportunities for creating care delivery models that recurrently address perinatal psychological health in cardio-obstetric care, using behavioral and pharmacological interventions, with an emphasis on better integration of psychological health care, longer postpartum follow-up, and opportunities for evaluating the comparative effectiveness of these models with stakeholder partners.
