Maternal Smoking During Pregnancy and Adverse Childhood Experiences: The Role of Socioeconomic Status in Adulthood and Perinatal Abuse.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 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
objectivesPrevious research has linked adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to maternal smoking, but the role of socioeconomic status (SES) in adulthood and perinatal abuse remains unclear. This study examined the strength of the association between ACEs and maternal smoking behaviors before, during, and after pregnancy and investigated whether maternal SES and perinatal abuse modify this association.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System survey (2017-2020). The weighted prevalence of self-reported ACEs and smoking was calculated. Multivariate logistic regression models were conducted to examine the association between ACEs and maternal smoking throughout pregnancy, accounting for maternal SES and perinatal abuse.
resultsOf the 6,595 respondents, nearly 20% of mothers reported experiencing one ACEs, while 29.3% reported three or more. Smoking prevalence was significantly higher among those with ACEs: 2.3% (95% CI 1.7%-3.2%) for mothers reporting zero ACEs, compared to 18.7% (95% CI 16.7%-20.8%) for those reporting three or more ACEs. While SES and perinatal abuse partially explained the association, women with three or more ACEs still had over four times the odds of smoking during pregnancy (aOR = 4.84, 95% CI 3.29-7.10), even after full adjustment.
conclusionsThese results highlight the long-lasting consequences of adversities encountered in early life, which can shape the smoking behaviors of women even during the critical stages of their own pregnancy. There is a need for tobacco control interventions among the most vulnerable that extend beyond the traditional services and address deeply rooted factors from past experiences.
