The impact of maternal parenting stress on early childhood development: the mediating role of maternal depression and the moderating effect of family resilience.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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.
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
objectiveEarly childhood is a critical stage of rapid cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. The development during this period is crucial for the long-term health and well-being of children. This study investigates the influence of maternal parenting stress on early childhood development, with a specific focus on the mediating role of maternal depression and the moderating effect of family resilience.
methodsA nine-month longitudinal study was conducted involving 558 children and their mothers.
resultsThe study found that maternal parenting stress significantly negatively impacts early childhood development. Maternal depression acts as a mediator between maternal parenting stress and early childhood development. Furthermore, family resilience was found to significantly moderate both the initial and latter parts of this mediating relationship.
conclusionThe study highlights the protective role of family resilience in this mediating process, contributing to the expansion of the Family Adjustment and Adaptation Response Model and enriching family educational practices.
