1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Healthcare for adolescents and birth defects (BD) prevention are highlighted public health issues. The epidemiology of birth defects in teenage pregnancies has not been studied extensively. Objectives: To investigate the prevalence trend and spectrum of BDs among teenage mothers. Methods: This observational study covered all births registered in the BD surveillance system in Zhejiang Province, China, during 2012-2018. The annual change in the prevalence of BDs among adolescent mothers was estimated. Crude relative ratios using the BD categories in teenage pregnancies were calculated and compared with those in women aged 25-29 years. Results: Overall, 54,571 BD cases among 1,910,977 births were included in this study, resulting in an overall prevalence of 234.64 to 409.07 per 10,000 births from 2012 to 2018 ( Conclusions: We found a distinctive spectrum of BDs, with higher proportions of fatal or multiple anomalies in infants born to teenage mothers than in those born to adults aged 25-29 years. These results emphasize the importance of providing adolescents with better access to reproductive and prenatal care.
