Factors Influencing Postpartum Depression in Nepal: An Integrative Review.
Review in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 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
Postpartum depression remains a critical concern in Nepal, influenced by various socio-cultural and healthcare-related factors. Therefore, this integrative review aimed to analyze and synthesize its key determinants within the Nepalese context. Fourteen articles met the eligibility criteria after systematically searching five electronic databases. The review underscores that increased age, low socioeconomic status, limited educational attainment, unintended pregnancies, inadequate support, and maternal health issues are the prominent risks. Cultural inclinations, such as a preference for male children and lack of adequate antenatal care, contribute to the severity of the condition. The findings stress the need for culturally sensitive strategies, early screening efforts, and the assimilation of mental health care and maternal services. Iwt advocates for focused interventions and future longitudinal studies, and the insights are valuable for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and future investigations to improve maternal health outcomes in Nepal.
