An analysis of key factors related to adaptation during pregnancy that contribute to the risk of perinatal depression.

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
backgroundThe third trimester of pregnancy involves multiple changes to which women need to adapt. When such adaptation to pregnancy is unsuccessful, this can increase the risk to suffer perinatal depression. Yet, an integrative analysis of different forms of adaptation to pregnancy and their specific contributions to perinatal depression is still missing.
objectivesThis study thus aimed to advance knowledge on the role of specific indicators of adaptation to pregnancy as predictors of risk for or protection against perinatal depression. DESIGN AND
methodsA randomized non-discriminatory exponential chain methodology was used to recruit a sample of 594 women in their third trimester of pregnancy. The participants completed online assessments, including sociodemographic data and psychological measures. A backward binary logistic regression was conducted to determine which dimensions of problems of adaptation to pregnancy accounted for higher risk to categorize women with clinically significant levels of depressive symptoms.
resultsThe proposed model accounted for 17% of the variability in the occurrence of perinatal depression symptoms. Specific indicators of adjustment to pregnancy, such as a having lower positive views of the future with the baby, acceptance of the news of pregnancy, talking with the partner about the future baby, and acceptance of physical discomfort, emerged as protective factors.
conclusionOur study identifies key protective factors against perinatal depression in the third trimester, including imagining a positive future with the baby, a positive reaction to pregnancy confirmation, discussing the baby with a partner, and positively experiencing physical discomfort during pregnancy. This study provides a deeper understanding of key aspects of pregnancy adaptation that should be strengthened in clinical practice to reduce the development of depressive symptoms in late pregnancy.
