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
Background: Most research on postpartum depression (PPD) has predominantly focused on mothers, leaving a gap in understanding fathers' experiences and help-seeking behaviors. Objective: This study aims to investigate the paternal PPD, addressing its complex causes and ultimately improving family health. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 270 fathers of newborns who referred to healthcare centers in Yazd, Iran from September 2023-September 2024 were enrolled. Participants were asked to fill the Edinburgh questionnaire to examine the prevalence and contributing factors of PPD. Results: A total of 270 fathers participated, with 146 daughters and 124 sons. The average depression score was 8.7 Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for long-term planning to address paternal depression, emphasizing that healthcare systems should not only focus on maternal mental health but also recognize the psychological challenges faced by fathers. Supporting fathers is crucial for the well-being of both mothers and newborns.
