PRENATAL AND OBSTETRIC RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF DISABILITIES IN CHILDHOOD.
Article in Acta clinica Croatica, 2024. 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 main objective was to analyze prenatal and obstetric risk factors in relation to the development of disabilities. For that purpose, data on medication, i.e., use of benzodiazepines during pregnancy, gestational weeks, mode of delivery (vaginal or cesarean section), duration of delivery, and fetal presentation were retrieved from medical records and semi-structured interviews with mothers/legal guardians. Trained professionals clinically assessed the children's developmental status (N=107). Fisher exact test with post hoc analysis of standardized residuals showed that a statistically significant number of children with multiple disabilities were born by cesarean section (z=3.7, p<0.001), prematurely (z=4.8, p<0.001), and by mothers using benzodiazepines (z=2.6, p<0.01). Children with autism spectrum disorders were more often delivered post-term (z=2.0, p<0.05) by induced delivery (z=2.9, p<0.01). Children with developmental coordination disorder were more often born post-term (z=2.2, p<0.05). As for the duration of delivery and fetal presentation, there was no statistically significant correlation with developmental disabilities. There is a cumulative risk of developmental disabilities rather than just a single risk factor. More interdisciplinary and longitudinal research on developmental disabilities, including children's educational outcomes should be conducted.
