Postpartum depressive symptom severity among child-bearing Veterans: Examining contributions of environmental indices.
Article in Rural mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Veterans are at increased risk of experiencing postpartum depression yet are understudied. Environmental factors like rurality and resource richness are associated with various health outcomes, although environmental relations to mental health outcomes, such as postpartum depression (PPD), have not been explored thoroughly. The current study aimed to examine the relation between living environment utilizing two indices (Area Deprivation Index and Rural Urban Commuting Area) and postpartum depressive symptom severity in postpartum Veterans. The study sample included postpartum Veterans that were recruited for an online CBT intervention. We utilized screening data from this recruitment effort. Depressive symptom severity was measured via the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Individual Veteran-level administrative data included age, race, ethnicity, and residential address. Linear regression was used to determine whether resource richness and rurality were associated with depressive symptom severity when adjusting for race. Black Veterans had greater depressive symptom severity than White Veterans (β = 0.12,
