Discrepancies between self- and partner-reported maternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy: roles of maternal attachment and partner depressive symptoms.
Article in Attachment & human development, 2026. 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
Maternal depressive symptoms during pregnancy are common but often go undetected. Partner reports on maternal depressive symptoms offer meaningful insights beyond self-report, yet little is known about the psychological and relational factors that shape partner reports. In 85 mother-father dyads assessed during pregnancy, we examined associations between self-reported and father-reported maternal depressive symptoms and predictors of informant discrepancies. While father-reported maternal depressive symptoms were moderately correlated with maternal self-reports, 39% of dyads disagreed on whether mother met clinical thresholds. Fathers' self-reported depressive symptoms predicted higher father-reported maternal depressive symptoms. Maternal-reported attachment avoidance was associated with fathers underreporting maternal depressive symptoms relative to maternal self-reports, while maternal-reported attachment anxiety was associated with fathers overreporting maternal depressive symptoms relative to maternal self-reports. Findings underscore the relational context of perinatal mental health. Including fathers as both informants and targets of care could improve identification and treatment of perinatal depression.
