Postpartum evaluation of the role of maternal characteristics and mode of delivery on maternal attachment, anxiety and depression; a study conducted in Turkey'.

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 AND
aimThe primary aim of this study was to compare mother-infant bonding (MIB) in patients who delivered vaginally and who delivered with C/S using Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale (PSAS) in the Turkish population. Secondary aim was to evaluate the correlations between the MAI, EPDS and PSAS scores and their association with sociodemographic data.
methodsA total of 200 patients were divided into two groups. 100 women who delivered vaginally were included in the vaginal delivery (NVD) group and 100 who delivered with cesarean section were included in the C/S group. The demographic data of the subjects including age, gravidity, and parity, were recorded and a detailed anamnesis was taken at the day of hospitalization for delivery. In addition, newborns' genders were taken into evaluation. All patients were asked to complete MAI, EPDS and PSAS at the 3rd month postpartum control.
resultsPSAS score in the NVD group was calculated to be 68.9 ± 9.0, which was significantly higher than C/S group 65.0 ± 9.6 (p = 0.005). However, MAI and EPDS scores in both groups were calculated to be similar (p = 0.833 and p = 0.260, respectively). A significant negative correlation was observed between age and MAI (r = -0.180, p = 0.011) and between number of children and MAI (r = -0.140, p = 0.048).
conclusionsAccording to the results of this study which was conducted using a Turkish cohort maternal age at delivery and number of children at home are the factors which had an effect on MIB. On the other hand, mode of delivery did not play a role on MIB among this study population. However, multicenter studies with larger number of subjects are needed to make a general conclusion regarding the Turkish population.
