1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

methodsThis qualitative content analysis was conducted in Shiraz, Iran, in 2020. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 19 fathers with postpartum depression selected through purposive sampling.

The first category has three subcategories: job support, family and relative supports, and empowered spouse. Positive attitude on having a child and belief in instability of life problems over time formed the category of having hope for the future. The third category included need for parenting and communication skills training and was named acquiring new skills. In this study, the fathers believed that there were some ways to cope with PPD. Therefore, families and health care providers should be aware and use these strategies to reduce depression. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Yes.
