Epidemiologic Features of Preterm Birth Among Infants With Trisomy 21 in Texas, 1999-2018.
Article in American journal of medical genetics. Part A, 2026. 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
The rate of preterm birth among infants with trisomy 21 (22%) is around twice that among the general population (10%). We conducted a descriptive epidemiologic study to address the gap in knowledge on what maternal and infant factors are associated with preterm birth among infants with trisomy 21. Singleton infants with trisomy 21 born between 1999 and 2018 were identified from the Texas Birth Defects Registry. We used multivariable logistic regression to assess associations between preterm birth and 14 maternal and infant characteristics. Statistically significant associations were observed between preterm birth and maternal race/ethnicity, maternal age, maternal birthplace, prenatal care, smoking, infant sex, and infant delivery year. For instance, preterm birth was associated with maternal age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.44, 95% CI: 1.23-1.70 for ≥ 40 vs. 25-29 years) and prenatal care (aOR 1.59, 95% CI: 1.25-2.03 for no care versus any care). Our findings contribute toward a better understanding of the risk profile of preterm birth among infants with trisomy 21 and can guide further research on risk factors and potential interventions for reducing preterm birth rates in this population.
