Maternal Linguistic Input to Infants Born to Mothers With and Without Postpartum Psychosis and Infant Language Skills: A Preliminary Study.
Article in American journal of speech-language pathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThis preliminary study investigated maternal linguistic input (MLI) to infants born to mothers with and without postpartum psychosis (PPP), infant language skills, and the impact of MLI on infant language skills.
methodThis is a cross-sectional case-control study from South India. The study included 14 mother-infant dyads, with seven dyads each in the PPP group,
resultsFindings indicated that mothers with PPP provided significantly fewer total words and word types, shorter length of utterances, fewer verbal responsiveness to infant vocalizations, and a significantly higher number of no verbal responses to infant vocalizations when compared to mothers without PPP. No significant differences were observed in infant receptive and expressive language skills between the groups. Overall, strong positive correlations were observed between maternal responsiveness to infant vocalizations and expressive language skills as well as between no verbal responses to infant vocalizations and receptive vocabulary counts.
conclusionsThe study highlights that there exist differences in the patterns of MLI in mothers with and without PPP. However, further research is needed with larger samples and longitudinal designs to explore the long-term impact of PPP on infant language development.
