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: Previous research has focused on the risk factors of adverse birth outcomes and its short-term and long-term consequences. However, study on the temporal trends of adverse birth outcomes is few. Furthermore, the population-level correlation between the rate of advanced maternal age (AMA) and the prevalence of adverse birth outcomes remains underexplored. This study aimed to provide the most recent temporal trends of adverse birth outcomes in Shanghai, China, and analyze the correlation between the prevalence of AMA and the prevalence of these adverse birth outcomes. Methods: A total of 173,690 birth data was collected from four regionally influential hospitals in Shanghai from 2010 to 2023. The prevalence of adverse birth outcomes (including preterm birth, low birth weight, small for gestational age, and birth defect) was calculated. Joinpoint regression analysis was conducted to estimate the temporal trends and calculate the Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) and Annual Percentage Change (APC) of adverse birth outcomes and AMA. A correlation study design was employed to evaluate the population-level correlation between the prevalence of adverse birth outcomes and AMA. Results: There were 13,445 (7.74%) preterm birth (PTB), 10,226(5.89%) low birth weight (LBW), 7,152 (4.12%) small for gestational age (SGA), and 3,227 (1.86%) birth defects (BD) over the past 14 years. Sex differences were observed across different adverse birth outcomes. The prevalence of PTB (AAPC = 0.87%, Conclusion: The overall prevalence of PTB, LBW, and SGA has shown an increasing trend, aside from BD. AMA also has risen annually and was significantly associated with these adverse birth outcomes. This suggests that enhancing support for advanced-age mothers could potentially mitigate adverse birth outcomes. Besides, gender differences on these adverse birth outcomes demonstrate the implementation of gender-specific healthcare strategies.
