Maternal sociodemographic characteristics of short and long interpregnancy intervals in Japan: an analysis using national birth data.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundFew studies have investigated the predictors of short and long interpregnancy intervals in Japan. Thus, this study investigated the maternal sociodemographic characteristics of short and long interpregnancy intervals among multiparous women using nationwide data in Japan.
methodsThe data of the Longitudinal Survey of Newborns in the 21st Century (2010 Cohort) in Japan were used, and the interpregnancy intervals of mothers were calculated. The age group, marital status, number of births, employment status, educational attainment of mothers, and household income were used as explanatory variables. Interpregnancy intervals of less than 12 months and 60 months or more were defined as short and long interpregnancy intervals, respectively. A modified Poisson regression model was employed to investigate the relationships between short and long interpregnancy intervals and maternal characteristics, and unadjusted and adjusted analyses were conducted.
resultsA total of 19,879 infants were used in the analysis. The results of the adjusted regression analysis showed that the risk ratio for short interpregnancy intervals increased with a decrease in maternal age, whereas the opposite trend was observed for long interpregnancy intervals. In addition, low educational attainment was positively associated with long interpregnancy intervals, and low household income was positively associated with short interpregnancy intervals. Employment status also played a role, with working mothers showing a negative association with short interpregnancy intervals and a positive association with long interpregnancy intervals.
conclusionsThis study showed that maternal sociodemographic characteristics such as employment status, educational attainment, and household income were associated with short and long interpregnancy intervals in Japan.
