Resilience in the early postpartum period: Buffering the impact of maternal ACEs on infant socioemotional development.
Article in Infant mental health journal, 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
Maternal adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with infant socioemotional problems. This longitudinal study investigated whether maternal resilience in the early postpartum period moderates the association between maternal ACEs and infant socioemotional problems at 6-months postpartum. One hundred twenty-eight mothers from Canada (92.2% White) reported their ACEs during pregnancy, resilience at 2-weeks postpartum, and their infants' socioemotional development at 6-months postpartum. Regression analyses revealed that higher maternal ACE exposure was associated with greater infant socioemotional problems. Higher maternal resilience at 2-weeks postpartum was associated with fewer infant socioemotional problems. A significant interaction between ACEs and resilience indicated that resilience buffered the association of ACEs and infant socioemotional problems, but only among mothers reporting three or fewer ACEs. These findings align with evidence suggesting that four or more ACEs represent a threshold of heightened risk and highlight the early postpartum period as a critical window for resilience-focused interventions.
