Maternal-fetal attachment trajectories in IVF mothers during the first trimester: a prospective observational study.
Observational study in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 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
objectiveTo identify trajectories of maternal-fetal attachment (MFA) in IVF mothers during the first trimester of pregnancy, and to explore categorical predictors of subgroups demonstrating MFA trajectories.
methodsA prospective observational study was conducted on 495 IVF mothers. Self-report questionnaires assessing MFA, anxiety, depression, social support, and marital satisfaction were completed at three time points: 3-4 weeks (T1), 7-8 weeks (T2), and 12-14 weeks (T3) of gestation. Repeated measurement data were analyzed and growth trajectories identified.
resultsThree MFA trajectories were delineated in IVF mothers during the first trimester: low-attachment/slow-elevation group (30.9%), moderate-attachment/steady-elevation group (56.2%), and high-attachment/rapid-elevation group (12.9%). Secondary infertility (OR = 0.575, 95% CI: 0.368-0.901, p = 0.013) and higher marital satisfaction (OR = 0.941, 95% CI: 0.915-0.968, p < 0.001) were predictors for not being in the low-attachment/slow-elevation group.
conclusionAmong IVF mothers with ongoing pregnancies, a subset exhibited suboptimal development of MFA during the first trimester. Marital satisfaction and infertility type may help identify those at potential risk.
