Prenatal Perceived Stress and Adverse Birth Outcomes Among Puerto Rican Women.
Article in Journal of women's health (2002), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundPreterm birth and low birthweight contribute substantially to the disproportionately high infant mortality rates experienced by Puerto Ricans in the United States. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the timing and pattern of prenatal psychosocial stress increased risk of adverse birth outcomes in this high-risk population. MATERIALS AND
methodsProyecto Buena Salud was a prospective cohort study conducted from 2006 to 2011 among predominantly Puerto Rican women. Participants (n = 1,267) were interviewed in early, mid-, and late pregnancy. We evaluated associations between early and mid-pregnancy stress (Perceived Stress Scale) and preterm birth and low birthweight, and stress at each pregnancy time point and small for gestational age (SGA).
resultsElevated levels of perceived stress in mid-pregnancy increased risk for preterm birth and low birthweight in adjusted analyses, with a linear trend observed for each increasing quartile of stress (p
conclusionElevated levels of mid-pregnancy perceived stress increased risk for preterm birth and low birthweight, and an increase in stress over the course of pregnancy increased risk for SGA in a population of predominantly Puerto Rican women.
