Correlates of work productivity and maternal competence after having a baby: the roles of mother-infant bonding and maternal subjective experiences.
Article in BMC women's health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe law in Lebanon allows new mothers to take up to 10 weeks paid maternity leave, and some private organizations choose to give fathers 2 days of paternity leave in the absence of clear legislation. This falls short of the 6 months recommended for mothers in the literature.
methodsThe sample consisted of 97 Lebanese mothers with children between 6 and 24 months of age. First, we examined correlations between the length of maternity leave and measures of work productivity and maternal sense of competence in their new role as a parent. Second, we explored correlations between the length of maternity leave and mother-child adjustment measures (mother-infant bonding, maternal stress, and parenting guilt). Finally, we looked for predictors of work productivity and maternal sense of competence in demographic variables, mother-child adjustment measures, and partner attachment scores.
resultsResults showed significant correlations between work productivity and maternal sense of competence, irrespective of the length of maternity leave. Regression analyses showed that working for pleasure, mother-infant healthy bonding, and positive subjective experience of being back to work were significant predictors of work productivity, and that maternal stress predicted maternal competence.
conclusionThese findings are discussed within the framework of providing suggestions facilitating mothers' transition back to work and increasing work productivity after having a baby.
