Delayed motherhood: Birth outcomes at extremely advanced maternal age: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Medicine, 2026. 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
This study aimed to evaluate and compare pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women aged ≥ 45 years, categorized as having extremely advanced maternal age (EAMA), and a control group of women aged 25 to 35 years who delivered within the same time period. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary referral center in Turkey, including 143 women aged ≥ 45 and 250 women aged 25 to 35 who gave birth between January 2017 and January 2024. Obstetric and neonatal outcomes were compared, including gestational age, mode of delivery, birthweight, Apgar scores, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions. Cesarean delivery (71.3% vs 47.6%, P < .001), preterm birth (21.0% vs 9.2%, P = .001), and NICU admissions (21.7% vs 12.8%, P = .02) were significantly more frequent in the EAMA group. The median birthweight was also significantly lower in this group (3000 g vs 3305 g; P < .001), and extremely preterm births (<28 weeks) occurred only in the EAMA group. Women aged ≥ 45 years face significantly higher risks of adverse obstetric and neonatal outcomes, underscoring the need for tailored prenatal care and delivery planning in this growing patient population as delayed motherhood becomes increasingly prevalent.
