1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Biopsychosocial perspectives suggest that maternal bonding is shaped by various factors. Moreover, bonding may vary among different groups of women. This study aimed to identify trajectories of maternal bonding from late pregnancy to 12 months postpartum and explored whether these were associated with demographic, obstetric, psychological, and infant variables. Questionnaires were completed by 1216 Dutch women (M
