Article in Belitung nursing journal, 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
Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) significantly impacts maternal well-being, infant development, and family functioning. Studies examining interrelationships among multiple predictors using theoretical frameworks in Chinese populations remain limited. Objective: To determine the prevalence of postpartum depression and examine the associations of biological, psychological, and social factors among postpartum women in Wenzhou, China. Methods: A predictive correlational cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Wenzhou from November to December 2024. Using systematic random sampling, 166 postpartum women aged 20-44 years, within 4 weeks to 6 months postpartum, were recruited. Data were collected using validated instruments, including the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale, Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and Stryker Adjustment Checklist. Multiple regression and mediation analyses using the PROCESS macro with bootstrap resampling were performed to identify significant predictors and examine mediating pathways. Results: The prevalence of PPD (EPDS score ≥9) was 21.1%. Multiple regression analysis revealed that breastfeeding satisfaction ( Conclusion: Approximately one in five postpartum women in Wenzhou experienced clinically significant depressive symptoms. Fulfilled gender expectations were associated with lower PPD risk, partially mediated by higher breastfeeding satisfaction, supporting the Biopsychosocial Model. These findings highlight the need for routine PPD screening, satisfaction-focused breastfeeding support, culturally sensitive counseling regarding family gender expectations, and family-centered interventions in postpartum care.
