Neonatal Outcomes Among Infants of Mothers With Advanced Maternal Age: A National Cohort Study.

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
aimMaternal age has increased steadily worldwide over the last few decades. This study aimed to investigate how different degrees of advanced maternal were associated with adverse neonatal outcomes.
methodsA nationwide register-based study was conducted using the Swedish Medical Birth Register. This comprised all singleton births to women aged 35 years plus from 2010 to 2022. The women were divided into three groups based on maternal age: 35-39 was the reference group, and 40-44 and 45 years plus were the advanced and very advanced maternal age groups, respectively.
resultsWe studied 312 221 singleton pregnancies. There were increased odds risks (95% confidence intervals) for infants born to women aged 40-44 (17.8%) and 45 years plus (1.1%), compared to those aged 35-39. These included stillbirths at 1.27 (1.12-1.45) and 1.80 (1.24-2.61) and infants being small for gestational age at 1.26 (1.19-1.33) and 1.46 (1.22-1.75). Risks for preterm birth, Apgar scores below seven at 5 min, and hypoglycaemia also increased.
conclusionSevere adverse neonatal outcomes were uncommon in Sweden but were higher in the advanced and very advanced maternal age groups than the younger reference group. Healthcare providers make women more aware of the risks of postponed childbearing.
