Comparison of offspring outcomes in women with and without epilepsy.
Article in Annals of clinical and translational neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe potential impact of antiseizure medications (ASMs) on abortion rate and bone metabolism in the offspring of pregnant women with epilepsy (WWE) is currently unknown. This research aimed to assess the potential risk by conducting a comparative analysis of bone metabolism-related indicators in the offspring of WWE.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data from 83 epileptic parturients receiving antenatal care at our hospital and a co-operative hospital from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2021, comparing them to a control group of 249 parturients. The study analyzed and compared the two groups' growth parameters, including delivery mode, femoral length, biparietal diameter, and birth weight. Differences in femoral length, biparietal diameter, and birth weight among different ASM groups were also examined.
resultsWWE were more likely to undergo a cesarean section with a lower abortion rate (55.4% vs. 37.3%, P = 0.004). After adjusting for potential confounding variables, offspring femoral length in WWE was significantly reduced compared to the control group (6.812 cm vs. 6.923 cm, P < 0.0001). Moreover, those born to WWE using multiple ASMs had significantly reduced femoral and biparietal lengths compared to those whose mothers used a single ASM or none (P < 0.0001). Additionally, birth weight was significantly lower in offspring of WWE using multiple ASMs than those not using ASM (P < 0.05).
interpretationWWE experienced fewer abortions but worse negative offspring outcomes. The bone metabolism of the offspring of WWE was decreased and exhibited shortened femoral length, particularly in those on multiple ASMs.
