Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesTo investigate the effects of maternal guilt on depression, anxiety, and stress among mothers of infants in neonatal intensive care units, and to explore the moderating roles of parity, type of delivery, and sex of the baby.
methodThe study was conducted with 332 mothers in a training and research hospital in Türkiye. Direct and moderating effects among variables were tested using Model 1 of the PROCESS macro v4.
resultsThe analysis revealed that maternal guilt had a significant positive direct effect on levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. The parity, type of delivery, and sex of the baby were found to moderate the impact of guilt on stress. In contrast, only the type of delivery moderated the effect of guilt on anxiety.
conclusionThe results may contribute to the development of targeted interventions aimed at improving the mental health of mothers with babies in neonatal intensive care units.
