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

Background: Parental attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with increased postpartum depressive symptoms and impaired daily functioning, potentially impacting early maternal-infant attachment (MIA). Methods: 78 mothers, half with ADHD, were enrolled during pregnancy or postpartum. Participants completed questionnaires regarding social support, home chaos, postpartum depressive symptoms, and postnatal MIA. Pregnant participants ( Results: Mothers with ADHD reported greater postpartum depressive symptoms and home chaos than mothers with ADHD coparents or those without parental ADHD; mothers with ADHD coparents reported the poorest overall MIA and quality of attachment and greatest hostility toward their infants (Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate Conclusions: Given parental ADHD (mother or father) was associated with increased maternal postpartum depressive symptoms and less optimal MIA in this study, additional support for families with ADHD in the perinatal period may improve maternal and infant mental health outcomes. Future work incorporating observational data and additional investigation of the coparenting relationship is needed to further clarify determinants of MIA in early childhood.
