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
Introduction: This study aimed to examine how maternal mental health, sleep quality, and social support influence mother-infant bonding during the first year after childbirth. Methods: A total of 1,495 mothers participated by completing standardized questionnaires that assessed the quality of bonding with their infants, experiences of childbirth-related post-traumatic stress, symptoms of postpartum depression, sleep disturbances, and levels of social support. Results: The results indicated that 49.6% of mothers experienced childbirth-related post-traumatic stress, 32.2% reported symptoms of postpartum depression, and 50.7% experienced sleep disturbances. Regression analysis showed that postpartum depression, poor sleep quality, older maternal age, emergency cesarean delivery, and low levels of social and partner support hurt the quality of the mother-infant bond. Depressive symptoms emerged as the strongest negative predictor, whereas adequate social and partner support positively influenced bonding. Discussion: These findings highlight the need for early screening and interventions aimed at improving maternal mental health and social support to promote positive mother-infant bonding and healthy child development.
