Intersections of racism, disability, and postpartum depression in minoritized racial and ethnic populations.

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
purposeUsing an intersectional lens, this study examined the association between maternal reports of emotional distress due to racism (EDR) and postpartum depression (PPD) symptoms among persons with and without disabilities in minoritized racial and ethnic populations.
methodsAn analysis of Phase 8 (2018-2020) data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) included 2,452 respondents with a recent live birth from three states (MO, GA, VA). We examined the association between EDR and PPD symptoms among respondents with and without disabilities using Pearson's chi-square test. Multivariate regression models were used to further estimate the odds of PPD symptoms associated with EDR and to examine differences in this relationship by disability status.
resultsEDR was significantly associated with PPD symptoms, with a higher prevalence of PPD symptoms among those with at least one disability (52.3%) compared to those without disabilities (19.9%). After adjusting for maternal demographics, EDR was significantly associated with PPD symptoms across disability groups. No significant interaction between disability group and EDR was observed, suggesting the association's strength did not differ significantly by disability group in this study. In the fully adjusted model, history of depression attenuated the EDR-PPD association across disability groups, highlighting the effect of prior depressive episodes on PPD outcomes.
conclusionEDR is significantly associated with PPD symptoms, and persons with disabilities in minoritized racial and ethnic populations may be particularly susceptible to EDR and PPD. Additional research using an intersectional perspective is needed to elucidate PPD disparities as related to multiple, intersecting social identities and experiences of discrimination.
