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

objectivesTo determine which of the available predisposing, enabling, and need factors are related to receipt of postpartum depression (PPD) treatment among postpartum women with Texas Medicaid.

methodsThis retrospective database analysis used Texas Medicaid claims (1/1/2018-6/30/2022) and included women 12-55 years, continuously enrolled 84 days pre- to 12 months post-delivery, with a PPD diagnosis. The outcome was receipt of PPD treatment (psychotherapy and/or antidepressant medication) within 12 months post-delivery. Independent variables were guided by the Andersen Behavioral Model and included predisposing (age, race/ethnicity), enabling (urbanicity, prenatal care), and need (depression/anxiety, substance use disorder [SUD], cesarean delivery, preterm birth, pregnancy complications) factors. Multivariable logistic regression was used.

resultsIncluded women (N = 25,976) were 26.7 ± 5.9 years and 42.1% were Hispanic. Most women resided in urban counties (80.6%) and had 6.2 ± 3.4 prenatal visits, 3.3 ± 2.8 postpartum visits, and 1.4 ± 0.9 pregnancy complications. Nearly half (44.7%) had baseline depression/anxiety, 17.4% had baseline SUD, 35.8% had cesarean delivery, and 13.5% had preterm birth. Approximately, three-fourths (76.2%) received treatment within 12 months after delivery. Logistic regression (p < 0.0001) revealed that the likelihood of treatment receipt was significantly associated with age (25-29:odds ratio [OR] = 1.155, 95% confidence interval 1.039-1.284, 30-34: OR = 1.186;1.058-1.330, > 34: OR = 1.295;1.134-1.479; reference:<20), race (White: OR = 1.700;1.556-1.857; Hispanic: OR = 1.179;1.087-1.277; reference: Black), urbanicity (OR = 0.869;0.799-0.944), prenatal care (4-6 visits: OR = 1.178;1.039-1.336, 7-9 visits: OR = 1.156;1.020-1.311, > 9 visits: OR = 1.406;1.217-1.625; reference:0 visits), and cesarean delivery (OR = 1.099;1.031-1.173). CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: While over 75% of women with PPD received treatment, additional efforts to mitigate disparate consequences of untreated PPD should be focused on younger, Black, and urban women.
