Disparities in Adverse Preconception Risk Factors Between Women with and Without Disabilities.

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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to compare the prevalence of select preconception health indicators among women with and without disabilities.
methods2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data were used to estimate the prevalence of health behaviors, health status indicators, and preventive health care among non-pregnant women ages 18-44 years with (N = 8370) and without (N = 48,036) disabilities. Crude percentages were compared with Chi square statistics. Multivariable logistic regressions adjusted for socio-demographic factors.
resultsWomen with disabilities were more likely than women without disabilities to currently smoke (30.5 vs. 14.5 %, p < 0.0001) and less likely to exercise in the past month (67.1 vs. 79.8 %, p < 0.0001). Heavy drinking was similar in the two groups (4.4 vs. 4.5 %, p = 0.9). Health status indicators were worse among women with disabilities, with 35.0 % reporting fair/poor health and 12.4 % reporting diabetes, compared with 6.7 and 5.6 %, respectively, among women with no disabilities (p < 0.0001 for both). Frequent mental distress, obesity, asthma, and lack of emotional support were also higher among women with disabilities compared with their non-disabled counterparts. Women with disabilities were more likely to receive some types of preventive care, (HIV), but less likely to receive others (recent dental cleaning, routine checkup). Disparities in health behaviors and health status indicators between the two groups remained after adjusting for socio-demographic factors.
conclusionWomen with disabilities at reproductive age are more vulnerable to risk factors associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes compared to their counterparts without disabilities. Our findings highlight the need for preconception health care for women with disabilities.
