1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveDifferences/disorders of sex development (DSDs) are rare, congenital conditions involving discordance between chromosomes, gonads, and phenotypic sex and are often diagnosed in infancy. A key subset of parents of children newly diagnosed with a DSD experience clinically elevated distress. The present study examines the relationship between perinatal factors (i.e., gestational age, delivery method) and trajectories of parental adjustment.

methodsParent participants (mothers = 37; fathers = 27) completed measures at baseline, 6- and 12-month follow-up. Multilevel linear regression controlled for clustering of the data at three levels (i.e., time point, parent, and family) and examined the relationship between perinatal factors and trajectories of depressive and anxious symptoms. Two-way interactions between perinatal factors and parent type were evaluated.

resultsOverall depressive and anxious symptoms decreased over time. There were significant interactions between gestational age and parent type for depressive and anxious symptoms, with younger gestational age having a stronger negative effect on mothers vs. fathers. There was a significant interaction between time and gestational age for depressive symptoms, with 36 weeks' gestational age demonstrating a higher overall trajectory of depressive symptoms across time compared to 38 and 40 weeks. Findings for the delivery method were not significant.

conclusionsFindings uniquely demonstrated younger gestational age was associated with increased depressive symptoms, particularly for mothers compared to fathers. Thus, a more premature birth may predispose parents of infants with DSD to distress. Psychosocial providers should contextualize early diagnosis-related discussions within stressful birth experiences when providing support.
