The adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes of adolescent pregnancy: a cross sectional study in Hebei, China.

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
backgroundThe adverse pregnancy outcomes caused by teenage pregnancy are major public health problems with significant social impact. While China is the most populous country in the world, and 8.5% of the women aged 10-50 years are adolescent women, we aimed to analyze the adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes of the adolescent pregnancy in Hebei Province, China.
methodsThere were 238,598 singleton pregnant women aged 10-34 years from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017 in the database of Hebei Province Maternal Near Miss Surveillance System (HBMNMSS). The 238,598 pregnant women were divided into two groups: adolescent group (aged 10-19 years) and adult group (aged 20-34 years). The adolescent group was divided into two subgroups (aged 10-17 years, aged 18-19 years), the adult group was divided into two subgroups (aged 20-24 years, aged 25-34 years). We compared the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. We also made a stratified analysis of nulliparous and multiparous adolescent pregnancy.
resultsCompared with women aged 20-34 years, women aged 10-19 years had lower risk of cesarean delivery [adjusted risk ratio (aRR): 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.70-0.80], gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (aRR: 0.55, 95%CI: 0.41-0.73). Women aged 10-19 years had higher risk of preterm delivery (aRR: 1.76, 95%CI: 1.54-2.01), small for gestational age (SGA) (aRR: 1.19, 95%CI: 1.08-1.30), stillbirth (aRR: 2.58, 95%CI: 1.83-3.62), neonatal death (aRR: 2.63, 95%CI: 1.60-4.32). The adolescent women aged 10-17 years had significantly higher risk of stillbirth (aRR: 5.69, 95%CI: 3.36-9.65) and neonatal death (aRR: 7.57, 95%CI: 3.74-15.33) compared with the women aged 25-34 years. Younger adults (20-24 years) also had higher risks of preterm delivery (aRR: 1.26, 95%CI: 1.20-1.32), stillbirth (aRR: 1.45, 95%CI: 1.23-1.72), and neonatal death (aRR: 1.51, 95%CI: 1.21-1.90) compared with women aged 25-34 years. The structural equation model showed that preterm delivery and cesarean delivery had an indirect effect on neonatal death in adolescent pregnancy.
conclusionsThe adolescent pregnancy was related to adverse perinatal (fetal and neonatal) outcomes, such as preterm delivery, stillbirth and neonatal death, especially in younger adolescent pregnancies.
