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.

Abstract
backgroundConsidering that postpartum depression can negatively impact the health of both mother and baby, preventive psychoeducational interventions are needed. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a psychoeducational intervention applied to postpartum care on postpartum depression and breastfeeding outcomes.
methodsThe research was a randomized pretest-posttest controlled group intervention trial. It was conducted with 102 pregnant women randomly assigned to intervention (n = 50) and control (n = 52) groups between 20 and 34 weeks of gestation in Family Health Centers. While all participants received standard care, the intervention group additionally participated in a psychoeducational program based on Watson's Human Caring Model. This structured intervention was delivered at four timepoints: three sessions before delivery at weekly intervals, followed by sessions on postpartum day 10 and week 6.
resultsBefore the intervention, there were no significant differences between the intervention and control groups on the Antenatal Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scales scores. However, after the intervention, Postpartum Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scales scores were significantly higher in the intervention group compared to controls. Analysis revealed an inverse relationship in the intervention group, where increased breastfeeding self-efficacy coincided with decreased levels of postpartum depression. Statistical modeling showed that changes in breastfeeding self-efficacy explained 17.4% of the variance in postpartum depression levels among women receiving the psychoeducational intervention.
conclusionThe psychoeducational program based on Watson's Human Caring Model effectively reduced the risk of postpartum depression while increasing breastfeeding self-efficacy among participants. These findings suggest that incorporating structured psychoeducational interventions into routine postpartum midwifery and nursing care can significantly improve maternal mental health and breastfeeding outcomes.
