Predictors of antepartum and postpartum suicidal ideation at a diverse urban obstetric setting.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundPerinatal suicidality is a leading contributor to maternal mortality, and is associated with adverse outcomes for birthing individuals and children. Further research is needed to establish risk factors for perinatal suicidal ideation (SI), particularly among diverse populations. This study explored risk factors for perinatal SI within a diverse urban obstetric setting.
methodsData were derived from the electronic medical records of 3,983 perinatal individuals (41.8% Black/African American, 34.6% utilizing public health insurance) who completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). 2,297 antepartum screens and 1,686 postpartum screens were assessed for SI via a positive endorsement of the EPDS’ item 10. Bivariate analyses were used to compare characteristics among individuals with and without SI, and multivariable logistic regression was used to examine predictors of SI.
resultsPrevalence of antepartum and postpartum SI was 4.7% and 3.1%, respectively. After adjustment for race, ethnicity, employment status, type of health insurance, and age, unemployment (aOR 3.01, 95% CI 1.06–8.50, p=.038) and lifetime mood disorder diagnosis (aOR 5.05, 95% CI: 1.89–13.48, p=.001) remained significant risk factors for antepartum SI. Prescription of psychiatric medications at screening (aOR 3.55, 95% CI 1.56–8.06, p=.003) was a significant predictor of postpartum SI after adjusting for type of health insurance, age, lifetime mood disorder diagnosis, term vs. preterm delivery, infant birthweight, and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admission.
conclusionsFindings suggest that systematic and comprehensive screening in obstetric practices will facilitate the identification of individuals at risk for SI. Further research is needed to develop preventive interventions to mitigate perinatal SI risk.
