Postpartum-onset PTSD: a DSM-6 nosologic priority.
Article in Archives of women's mental 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
Childbirth-related PTSD is a population-level postpartum mental health concern that remains under-recognized due to limited routine PTSD screening and symptom overlap with postpartum depression and anxiety. The condition is associated with impaired mother-infant bonding and is supported by converging biological evidence consistent with PTSD in other trauma-exposed populations. We propose that DSM-6 add a PTSD timing specifier, "with postpartum onset", defined as the onset of PTSD symptoms within 4 weeks after delivery following a childbirth event that satisfies DSM Criterion A. A full PTSD diagnosis would still require that symptoms persist for more than 1 month, as required by DSM criteria. This targeted update could improve recognition, coding, screening pathways, and research harmonization for childbirth-related PTSD.
