Beyond the blues: marital dissatisfaction as a stronger predictor of postpartum depression than maternity blues among postpartum women: a prospective study in a Turkish cohort.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether maternity blues (MBs) act as an independent predictor of postpartum depression (PPD), after controlling for key psychosocial factors in a Turkish cohort. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 324 women were followed for 6 weeks postpartum. MB status was assessed in the first week, and PPD risk was evaluated at 4-6 weeks via the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS; cutoff ≥12). A propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted to control for confounding variables, followed by multivariate logistic regression on the matched cohort. The study was reported in accordance with the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines. Results: Of the 324 participants, 84 (25.9%) were at high risk for PPD. In the matched cohort ( Conclusion: While MB is a significant predictor, its standalone accuracy is modest (AUC = 0.62). Marital dissatisfaction is a more powerful determinant in this cohort. Screening should integrate psychosocial risk factors alongside MB symptoms.
