"I'm an okay mother": the impacts of a video feedback intervention on maternal identity negotiations for women with elevated perinatal depression symptoms.

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
backgroundVideo feedback interventions have been designed to improve maternal sensitivity by reducing the negative effects of maternal depression symptoms on the quality of mother-infant interaction during the postnatal period. However, little is known about how these interventions may indirectly influence a mother's sense of identity or who she understands herself to be.
methodsEight Australian women, with signs of perinatal depression, participated in a 3-session Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) intervention and a follow-up interview. Their interview responses were qualitatively analysed with a constructivist, inductive thematic analysis.
resultsVIG showed potential to support positive maternal self-concept, through its strengths-based approach. Women reported positive benefits, and their responses engaged with broader cultural discourses of "good" motherhood, which they both reflected and challenged. This process was supported by both the external evidence of the video clips and the insider validation of "seeing" the preferred sense of motherhood identity in action.
conclusionsFindings expand the scope of VIG from its original aim of increasing maternal sensitivity, to that of indirectly assisting mothers with forming a more positive and durable sense of motherhood identity. Clinical implications and suggestions for the role of video feedback interventions in maternal depression are discussed, including the need for further research on VIG interventions in this group.
