Trial reportJournal of pediatric nursing
Early growth trajectory is associated with psychological stress in parents of infants with congenital heart disease, but moderated by quality of partner relationship.
Trial report in Journal of pediatric nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01941667 (Transitional Telehealth Home Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.

Abstract
purposeTo explore the relationships between growth trajectory, parenting stress and parent post-traumatic stress (PTS), in infants with congenital heart disease, and the moderating role of parents' dyadic adjustment on those associations. DESIGN AND
methodsA secondary analysis of data from the REACH Telehalth home monitoring multi-site randomized clinical trial. Parents completed the Parenting Stress Index (PSI), Post-traumatic diagnostic scale, and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine the associations of interest.
resultsDuring 4-month follow-up after hospital discharge, parents of infants with 'Never recovered' and 'Partially recovered' growth trajectories had 2-5 times higher odds of experiencing higher stress on the Parent Domain (OR = 4.8, CI = 1.3-18.0; OR = 2.5, CI = 1.0-5.9, respectively) than those with stably grown infants. Parents of "Never recovered" infants had 4 times higher odds of PTS symptoms (OR = 3.9; CI = 1.6-9.9). Parental dyadic adjustment moderated the relationships. Parents of 'Partially recovered' infants and having low dyadic adjustment had 3-5 times higher odds of high stress on all PSI domains, while parents with high dyadic adjustment did not have increased stress due to poor infant growth. Parents of "Never recovered" infants had four times higher odds of PTS symptom, even with high dyadic adjustment.
conclusionsInfant growth trajectory over the first four months is associated with parenting stress and PTS. Quality of partner relationship moderates some of these associations. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Infant growth should serve as a screening aid for identifying parents at psychological risk. Interventions targeting the quality of partner relationship may support parental coping and mitigate stress. CLINICAL
