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
introductionTo evaluate postpartum depressive symptoms using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and identify demographic, obstetric, and neonatal factors associated with EPDS positivity in women without prior psychiatric history.
methodsThis retrospective, archive-based multicentre study enrolled 763 women aged 20-35 years who delivered at two public hospitals in Turkey (June 2022-June 2025). Variables included educational attainment, employment, pregnancy planning, mode of delivery, abortion/stillbirth history, preeclampsia, birth weight, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. Participants were classified as EPDS < 13 or ≥ 13 at the fourth postpartum week; comparisons used univariable and multivariable logistic regression with Bonferroni adjustment.
resultsOf 763 women, 198 (26.0%) scored ≥ 13. After adjustment and Bonferroni correction, history of abortion and preeclampsia remained statistically significant. Working status and history of stillbirth showed nominal associations before correction but did not remain significant after Bonferroni correction. NICU admission was significant in unadjusted analysis but did not remain significant after adjustment (aOR 1.44, 95% CI 0.80-2.60, p = 0.226).
conclusionPostpartum depressive symptoms affected one in four women. After adjustment and Bonferroni correction, preeclampsia and history of abortion remained associated with EPDS positivity. Targeted psychological screening may be considered for women with high-risk pregnancy or neonatal complications.
