Article in Health science reports, 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
Background: Teen pregnancy and psychoactive substance use represent some of the factors that can have a negative impact on children's development. Objetives: To explore the effect of the prevalence of drug, alcohol and tobacco use in the different federative entities in Mexico and children with adolescent mothers on the early childhood development (ECD). Methods: Observational study. ECD was evaluated with the Early Childhood Development Index (ECDI) using the 2015 National Survey of Boys, Girls and Women. The prevalence of psychoactive substance use was estimated using the 2016 National Survey of Drug, Alcohol and Tobacco use. Association of ECD with different characteristics of the environment where the children resided was explored using a multilevel logistic regression model. Results: The average age for an adolescent mother was 18 years and for an adult mother it was 28 years. The population is characterized by a higher percentage of children who attend early education, have support for learning, have three or more books and receive adequate care. The children with adolescent mothers (aOR = 1.54, 95% CI: 1.03-2.31) the prevalence of ilegal drug use use (aOR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.02-1.32) and number of homicides (aOR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.03-1.36) were factors associated with inadequate ECD. Finally, population density was negatively associated with inadequate ECD (aOR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.88-0.95). Conclusion: In Mexico, children with adolescent mothers and children with inadequate ECD prevail in populations in a situation of vulnerability. These findings can be useful to design public policies that consider the individual and social context of children and their mothers.
