Associations between adverse childhood experiences and perinatal outcomes.
Article in Jornal de pediatria. 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
objectiveTo determine the frequency of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) among a cohort of pregnant women (primary outcome) and explore their association with prematurity, pre-eclampsia, and fetal growth restriction (secondary outcomes).
methodsThe Adverse Childhood Experiences International Questionnaire - ACE-IQ was applied to patients during prenatal visits. Information on perinatal outcomes was collected from medical records. The proportion of total ACE and its different domains was estimated. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to assess the association between ACE and outcomes, after adjusting for possible confounding factors.
resultsA cohort of 307 pregnant women completed the ACE-IQ. The results in the binary and frequency versions were, respectively: mean (SD) scores of 5.84 (2.87) and 3.55 (2.73); the proportion of ACE 4 of 75% and 44%; the most prevalent ACE domains were home dysfunction (89.6 and 86.6%) and exposure to community violence (76.5 and 50%). For fetal growth restriction, pregnant women with ACE ≥ 4 had 2.32 times (95% CI: 1.04-5.37; p = 0.042) higher chance of this outcome. For preterm birth, the odds ratio was 1.1 (95% CI: 0.5-2.6; p = 0.886), indicating no statistically significant association. There was no significant association between the total ACE score, or its domains, and the other perinatal outcomes studied.
conclusionsThe frequency of ACE was high in this cohort of pregnant women, and exposure to community violence was associated with fetal growth restriction. The investigation of the association with other perinatal outcomes should be extended to a general population of pregnant women.
