Risk Factors for Postpartum Depressive Symptoms in Japan: A Longitudinal Study From the Second Trimester to Three Months Postpartum.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background Postnatal depressive symptoms have been reported to have a negative impact on infant development and mother-child interactions. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent postpartum depression during pregnancy and in the early postpartum period. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for postpartum depressive symptoms up to three months postpartum. Methods Data were collected from self-reported questionnaires and participants' medical records. We recruited women in their second trimester of pregnancy, and 90 participants completed the questionnaires. Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that weight gain during pregnancy was related to postpartum depressive symptoms at two to five days postpartum. Childbirth satisfaction and one-minute Apgar scores were associated with depressive symptoms at two weeks postpartum. Childbirth satisfaction and bonding failure at one month postpartum were related to postpartum depressive symptoms at one month postpartum. Conclusions We consider the factors identified in this study to be useful indicators for assessing postpartum depressive symptoms. Screening for postpartum depressive symptoms during each period could be beneficial as the risk factors differed between periods.
