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

AIMS/

backgroundMedical events during birth and self-reported birth experience may influence early relational health (ERH) in the postpartum period. Limited longitudinal work has been conducted in this area, particularly among women who gave birth during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of this study was to assess labour and delivery characteristics and maternal birth satisfaction as predictors of ERH domains of mother-reported bonding and observed emotional connection in the first year of life among women who gave birth during the COVID-19 pandemic. DESIGN/

methodsParticipants included mothers (

resultsMaternal and infant medical risks (e.g. maternal complications, unplanned caesarean deliveries, care escalation) were associated with lower maternal birth satisfaction, which in turn predicted lower mother-reported bonding and observed emotional connection in infancy.

conclusionResults provide insight into perinatal determinants of early relational health among infants born during the COVID-19 pandemic and inform transdisciplinary clinical care approaches to support families and children in the transition to motherhood.
