Impact of postpartum persistent depression on infant developmental behavior and maternal self-efficacy.
Article in World journal of psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPostpartum depression (PPD) represents a significant public health concern, adversely affecting both new mothers and their infants. Despite routine early screening, PPD can persist beyond the initial postpartum months, with notably high incidence rates even one year after childbirth. Persistent PPD has been associated with poor developmental outcomes in infants, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and support during this critical period. Understanding the broader impacts of persistent PPD is essential for developing effective interventions to improve maternal and infant well-being.
aimTo explore the impact of persistent PPD on infant developmental behavior and maternal self-efficacy.
methodsWe recruited 60 postpartum women who experienced persistent depression after childbirth in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2024 as the research subjects. The study collected basic characteristics of both infants and mothers, analyzed the self-efficacy of the mothers and the developmental behaviors of the infants, and conducted a correlation analysis to examine the relationship between postpartum persistent depression in mothers and the developmental behaviors and self-efficacy of infants. The Bootstrap method was used to verify the significance of the mediating effect.
resultsThe basic characteristics of infants and mothers show that 53.33% are male, 58.33% are born
conclusionPersistent PPD significantly negatively impacts infant developmental outcomes, with maternal self-efficacy serving as a partial mediator. These findings suggest that interventions targeting both depressive symptoms and self-enhancement may effectively promote infant health development.
