Reproductive health characteristics among women living in severe poverty in urban Haiti.

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
backgroundData on women’s reproductive health in settings facing extreme poverty are limited. We describe the reproductive health characteristics across the life course of women living in urban Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and identify factors associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO).
methodsData were sourced from the Haiti Cardiovascular Disease Cohort Study, a population-based observational study in Port-au-Prince. This analysis includes all women who completed a reproductive health questionnaire, which included self-reported age of menarche, menopause, infertility, menstruation abnormalities, and APO, defined as a history of pregnancy loss, preterm births, and pregnancy complications. We performed univariable and multivariable log-binomial regression to identify factors associated with APO.
resultsAmong 1746 women in the parent cohort, 1,163 (66.6%) women reported reproductive health data. The median age was 43 years (IQR 31–55). The median age at menarche was 14 years (IQR 12–16). A downward trend in the age of menarche was observed over time: women born from 1930 to 1970 reported a median age of 15 years, compared to 13 years among women born from 1990 to 2012 (p < 0.001). 11% (11.0%; n = 130) of the participants reported a history of infertility. The median age of reported menopause was 48 years (IQR, 44–50; n = 540), with approximately 37.4% (n = 203) experiencing menopause before the age of 45. Among 1007 women with ≥ one pregnancy, 61.7% (n = 623) experienced an APO, and 20.3% (n = 206) reported two or more APO. The most common APO was pregnancy loss (n = 515, 51.0%), pregnancy complications (n = 244, 24.0%), and preterm births (n = 132, 13.0%). Factors associated with a history of APO included hypertension, body mass index > 25 kg/m2, higher education, and a moderate perceived stress score.
conclusionAmong women living in extreme poverty in Haiti, we found a high prevalence of adverse reproductive health outcomes, namely APO, and a temporal trend of a decreasing age of menarche across time. Adverse reproductive health outcomes have been associated with increased chronic disease, and additional research is needed to establish if these factors are associated with increased cardiometabolic disease in extremely poor settings to identify targets for future prevention and treatment.
