Criterion validity of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire using an observer-rated measure of mother-baby bonding as a reference.
Article in Cadernos de saude publica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Currently, there are no studies available on the criterion validity of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire (PBQ) that use an observer-rated measure of mother-baby bonding as a reference. Thus, this study analyses the PBQ using an observer-rated measure of mother-baby. This is a cross-sectional study of 100 women and their babies who were recruited via convenience sampling. The diagnostic capacity of the PBQ was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the curve (AUC). The ROC curves had AUC values ranging from 0.399 (95%CI: 0.227-0.513, p = 0.114) to 0.559 (95%CI: 0.475-0.642, p = 0.163). There was low criterion validity for the PBQ when using the Infant CARE-Index as a reference. The results are novel and make an important contribution to understanding the criterion validity of the PBQ. However, further research using different methods and populations is needed.
