Structured psychological nursing and postpartum psychological outcomes in primiparous women: a retrospective temporal cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: Childbirth-related psychological symptoms may adversely affect maternal recovery and postpartum functioning. This study aimed to examine whether a structured psychological nursing program was associated with improved psychological outcomes among primiparous women. Methods: This single-center retrospective temporal-cohort study included 323 primiparous women with singleton deliveries in 2025. Women receiving routine nursing from January to June comprised the routine nursing group (n = 158), whereas those receiving routine care plus structured psychological nursing from July to December comprised the psychological nursing group (n = 165). Outcomes were assessed at 42 days postpartum using the City Birth Trauma Scale (City BiTS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and an institutional nursing satisfaction questionnaire. Probable childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was determined using the complete City BiTS DSM-5 and temporal-attribution algorithm. Results: The psychological nursing group had a lower mean City BiTS score than the routine nursing group (14.1 ± 7.1 vs. 18.6 ± 8.4; mean difference, -4.50; 95% CI, -6.21 to -2.79; Hedges' g = -0.58). Probable childbirth-related PTSD occurred in 9.1% versus 17.7% of women (risk ratio, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.28-0.92). PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores were also lower, whereas nursing satisfaction was higher. After adjustment for delivery mode and maternal age, psychological nursing remained associated with lower odds of probable PTSD (adjusted odds ratio, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.23-0.91). Conclusions: Structured psychological nursing was associated with lower postpartum trauma, depressive, and anxiety symptom burden and greater nursing satisfaction. Prospective randomized studies are required to confirm these findings.
