Years of healthy life lost due to adverse pregnancy and childbirth outcomes among adolescent mothers in Thailand.
Article in AIMS public health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPreventing adolescent pregnancy and childbirth is one of the targets of Sustainable Development Goals. Measuring the burden pregnancy and childbirth places on adolescents is required to convince society and decision makers that this is an important goal.
objectiveThis study aimed to estimate (1) the years of healthy life lost due to adolescent pregnancy and childbirth in terms of disability adjusted life years (DALYs), (2) the contribution of adolescent pregnancy and childbirth to the total DALYs lost from all reproductive ages, and (3) the magnitude of the burden due to five main direct obstetric causes and sequelae in adolescent mothers in Thailand in 2014.
methodsData were retrieved from a national in-patient registered database and a vital registration database. Health consequences of five main direct obstetric causes were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2000 study. The DALYs were calculated by the combination of Years of Life Lost (YLL) due to premature death and Years Lived with Disability (YLD) due to adverse pregnancy and childbirth in adolescent mothers.
resultsThere were a total of 2599 years of DALYs lost from the consequences of adolescent pregnancy and childbirth, and unsafe abortion resulted in the highest burden. Mortality was the primary driver for the total DALYs lost with 1704 years, and maternal hemorrhage dominated in the total YLL. Unsafe abortion contributed the highest burden to nonfatal morbidity. Obstructed labor commonly occurred in adolescent pregnancies.
conclusionAmong the DALYs lost due to pregnancy and childbirth for all reproductive aged women, 15.4% were attributed to adolescents. The five main obstetric causes of mortality and morbidity are all preventable conditions. Increased efforts from all stakeholders are essential to implement appropriate interventions to minimize adverse health outcomes in adolescent mothers.
