Optimizing Non-Pharmacological Support for Perinatal Mental Health: A Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis of Intervention Effects by Pregnancy/Postpartum Stage.
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 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
purpose of reviewNon-pharmacological interventions for perinatal mental health lack personalized guidance tailored to the distinct stages of pregnancy. To address this evidence gap, this study employed a network meta-analysis, aiming to identify the optimal non-pharmacological intervention strategies for the perinatal period.
findingsThe analysis included 153 RCTs. For prenatal patients, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) proved most effective for depression (SMD = -1.27, 95% CI = -1.98, -0.55), while mindfulness was most effective for anxiety (SMD = -1.44, 95% CI = -2.11, -0.77). For postpartum patients, music therapy (SMD = -1.20, 95% CI = -2.05, -0.36) and educational interventions (SMD = -1.20, 95% CI = -2.05, -0.36) proved most effective. For postpartum anxiety, relaxation training was most effective (SMD = -1.90, 95% CI = -2.50, -1.31). For prevention, music interventions were most effective in reducing the risk of postpartum depression (SMD = -1.28, 95% CI = -2.44, -0.13) and anxiety (SMD = -1.53, 95% CI = -1.92, -1.15). During pregnancy, prioritize cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based interventions to alleviate symptoms, supplemented by music therapy and psychotherapy for prevention to reduce postpartum risks. For postpartum depression, prioritize music therapy and educational interventions.
