Impact of health literacy and subjective happiness in pregnancy on neonatal anthropometry: a cohort study.
Article in Discover mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundMaternal health literacy (MHL) and happiness can significantly impact pregnancy outcomes (POs) and neonatal health. This study primarily aimed to assess the level of maternal health literacy. Additionally, we sought to determine how maternal health literacy, happiness, socio-demographics, and pregnancy outcomes influence neonatal anthropometrics, thereby providing a more comprehensive understanding of the determinants of maternal and neonatal health.
methodsIn a 2-year cohort study on 591 pregnant women with normal pregnancies, we recorded the maternal socio-demographic and obstetric factors. Moreover, the Maternal Health Literacy and Pregnancy Outcomes Questionnaire (MHLAPQ) and Happiness Questionnaire were used to gather health-related information. After delivery, the neonatal anthropometric measurements, including body weight (BW), supine length (SL), and head circumference (HC), were recorded at birth.
resultsAmong the 591 participants, 338 (57.2%) were in the 20-29-year age group. The mean maternal health literacy (MHL) score was 57.34 ± 8.67. MHL scores were associated with maternal and paternal education and occupation, as well as a history of miscarriage. Pregnancy outcomes were linked to maternal and paternal education and employment status, while higher happiness scores were found among housewives. BW showed significant differences based on maternal occupation and a history of stillbirth, while SL varied significantly with maternal occupation. Positive correlations were identified between BW and MHL, as well as between PO, MHL, and maternal happiness scores.
conclusionIn summary, our results revealed that MHL and happiness are important factors in improving the POs and neonatal health. In addition, maternal and paternal education and occupation were found to affect the MHL scores.
