Mental disorders in the Postpartum Period in Rio de Janeiro 2021-2023: Nascer no Brasil II Study.
Article in Revista de saude publica, 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
objectiveTo analyze the prevalence and interrelationship of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and birth-related post-traumatic stress disorder.
methodsData from a cohort of postpartum women from the Nascer no Brasil II study, representative of births that occurred in the state of Rio de Janeiro between 2021 and 2023, were analyzed. Participants were interviewed face-to-face in the immediate postpartum period and again by telephone two months after birth. Women who responded to all questions on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7, and City Birth Trauma Scale were included, whereas pregnancies that ended in miscarriage or stillbirth were excluded, resulting in a total of 1,752 postpartum women. To test the homogeneity of proportions, the chi-square test (χ²) was used, with p-values below 5% considered statistically significant. The analysis of the interrelationships among the three symptoms was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM), employing the weighted least squares mean and variance adjusted (WLSMV) estimator and theta parameterization.
resultsThe prevalence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and birth-related post-traumatic stress disorder was 17.9, 16.3, and 7.7%, respectively. A positive score on at least one of the scales was found in 24.6% of participants, and the simultaneous occurrence of two or three comorbidities was 12% and 3.7%, respectively. Low educational attainment and a history of mental disorders were significantly more prevalent in all three conditions analyzed. Structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed a significant and positive association among the three scales, and all latent variables in the model showed items with factor loadings greater than 0.5.
conclusionThe postpartum period is critical for the diagnosis of mental disorders and may involve complex conditions in which symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress overlap. It is important that healthcare professionals be aware of the occurrence and co-occurrence of these disorders, as well as their potential consequences for the health of both the woman and the newborn.
