Pregnancy variables that impact postpartum quality of life: a multicenter prospective study.

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
Postpartum quality of life is a multidimensional variable regarding a woman's own assessment of her health, which frequently deteriorates after childbirth. To identify the physical, cognitive, emotional, cultural and/or social factors present during pregnancy that are most related to postpartum Quality of Life (QoL). A team of experts identified some factors that could influence the experience of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. A longitudinal study was carried out in the public health service of the Basque Country. Participants were recruited consecutively and through peer snowball sampling. During pregnancy, were evaluated anxiety (STAI), depression (EPDS), coping style (NuPCI), self-efficacy (CBSEI), fear of childbirth (WEQ-A), partner support (PSEQ) and substance use (EMAeHealth); along with sociodemographic variables. In the postpartum period, information about type of delivery and quality of life (SF-12) was collected online. A multivariate analysis was carried out. 92 women answered the questionnaires during pregnancy (M = 28 weeks, SD = 7.03) and in the postpartum (M = 37 days, SD = 30.13). Multigroup structural equation models revealed that fear of childbirth and emotional state during pregnancy were significantly associated with postpartum quality of life (QoL), with patterns differing by educational level. Although no statistically significant interactions were found, standardized path coefficients indicated clinically meaningful differences. Most effect sizes ranged from moderate to large (β ≥ 0.30), and explained variance exceeded thresholds for substantial predictive power (R
