Long-term consequences of unintended pregnancy: Impacts on early childhood growth and development in a multicenter study.

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
backgroundUnintended pregnancy occurs when an individual or couple conceives without planning or desire, which can potentially affect a child's physical, mental, and social well-being. This can then lead to long-term socioeconomic challenges for families and communities. Although its impact on child growth and development is a pressing concern, research remains limited particularly in multicenter settings.
aimTo examine the long-term consequences of unintended pregnancy on the critical years of early childhood growth and development.
methodsThis analytical observational study employed a case-control design and was conducted in research centers across Indonesia, encompassing those located in Central Java, Lampung, Bali, and West Nusa Tenggara. A total of 700 children aged ≤ 5 years with histories of intended or unintended pregnancies participated. Data collection involved structured interviews and direct anthropometric and developmental assessments. Data analyses were conducted using multivariate statistics and partial least squares structural equation modeling.
resultsUnintended pregnancy was found to have a statistically significant effect on both child growth (
conclusionUnintended pregnancy significantly affects child growth and development, underscoring the need for early intervention, quality prenatal care, and strengthened family planning policies.
