Perinatal depression, perinatal mental health, and legal interventions: a medico-legal anthropological concept.
Review 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 4 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 depression (PND), and perinatal mental health (PMH) are regarded as an underestimated public health concern. A doctoral study was undertaken to analyze the efficacy of existing health laws and policies in India in addressing and managing PND, and the implications of non-recognition of PND as a public health issue. The interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary study involved four disciplines: Psychiatry, Medical Anthropology, Public Health Law, and International Human Rights Law. The study highlighted the need for synergistic assimilation of knowledge from the four disciplines to read mental health, PND, and PMH. The study novelly emphasized the need to read PND as a 'medico-legal anthropological' concept, which manifests medically, results largely, and is strongly influenced by psychosocial factors, making it imperative to recognize perinatal women as a vulnerable population and safeguard their human rights. This approach will facilitate assessments about interventions for addressing and/or managing PND when policy-making/policy reforms regarding PND are in progress.
