Fertility rates in women with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Wisconsin Medicaid.
Article in Disability and health journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundWomen with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) face stigma and inequity surrounding opportunity and care during pregnancy. Little work has quantified fertility rates among women with IDD which prevents proper allocation of care.
objectiveOur objective was to cross-sectionally describe fertility patterns among women with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in 10-years of Medicaid-linked birth records. STUDY
designOur sample was Medicaid-enrolled women with live births in Wisconsin from 2007 to 2016. We identified IDD through prepregnancy Medicaid claims. We calculated general fertility-, age-specific-, and the total fertility-rates and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for women with and without IDD and generated estimates by year and IDD-type.
resultsGeneral fertility rate in women with IDD was 62.1 births per 1000 women with IDD (95% CI 59.2, 64.9 per 1000 women) and 77.1 per 1000 for women without IDD (95% CI: 76.8, 77.4 per 1000 women). General fertility rate ratio was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.7, 0.9). Total fertility was 1.80 births per woman with IDD and 2.05 births per woman without IDD (rate ratio: 0.89 95% CI: 0.5, 1.5). Peak fertility occurred later for autistic women (30-34 years), compared with women with other IDD (20-24 years).
conclusionIn Wisconsin Medicaid, general fertility rate of women with IDD was lower than women without IDD: the difference was attenuated when accounting for differing age distributions. Results highlight the disparities women with IDD face and the importance of allocating pregnancy care within Medicaid.
