From mother to child: a protocol paper on the longitudinal effects of a perinatal intervention on maternal self-efficacy and emotion regulation and child outcomes.
Article in BMJ open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05110456 (Starting Before Birth to Prevent Maternal Mental Health Problems), which is not on this 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.

introductionParental psychological challenges and poor well-being are key factors in shaping both the quality of parent-child interactions and child development. Specifically, maternal psychological distress is a central determinant of child development. Elevated levels of distress in mothers are associated with poorer child cognitive, behavioural and social-emotional outcomes, with effects persisting into adolescence and adulthood. While this highlights the critical importance of early prevention and intervention efforts to support parents, postpartum mental healthcare remains limited, despite ongoing and evident needs. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This protocol outlines a 2-year longitudinal follow-up study investigating the impact of a secondary perinatal programme (ie, ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The current study has been registered, reviewed and approved (MP-37-2025-10894) by the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre Research Ethics Board.
