Dyadic effects of role adaptation on postpartum anxiety and depression: the mediating role of future time insight and parenting competence.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 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
backgroundTo investigate the current status and dyadic mechanism of maternal and spousal role adaptation for postpartum anxiety and depression.
methodsConvenience sampling was employed to select 276 pairs of mothers and their spouses from October 2023 to October 2024 as study participants. Binary analyses were conducted using the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) and the mediation model.
resultsThe prevalence rates of anxiety and depression during the first postpartum year were 38.5% and 14.5% among mothers, and 36.9% and 12.9% among their spouses, respectively. The APIM revealed that maternal and spousal role adaptation significantly and negatively predicted their own postpartum anxiety (maternal actor effect: β = -0.120; spousal actor effect: β = -0.081) and depression (maternal actor effect: β = -0.165; spousal actor effect: β = -0.113), and that role adaptation similarly predicted each other's anxiety (maternal partner effect: β = -0.115; spousal partner effect: β = -0.059) and depression (maternal partner effect: β = -0.129, spousal partner effect: β = -0.064). Mediation analyses suggest that future time insight and parenting competence mediate this process.
conclusionsPostpartum anxiety and depression serve as a dyadic phenomenon, where maternal and spousal role adaptation significantly affects mental health outcomes. Future time insights and feelings of parenting competence serve as mediating variables in the relationship. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
