Cumulative High-Risk Pregnancy Complications and Stunting Risk in Indonesian Children Younger Than 5 Years: Retrospective Analysis Using the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease Framework.
Article in Asian/Pacific Island nursing journal, 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
Background: Stunting affects 21.6% of Indonesian children younger than 5 years, with complications from high-risk pregnancies (HRPs) identified as a potential risk factor. The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease framework suggests that prenatal exposures may permanently alter physiological development and disease susceptibility later in life. Objective: This study aimed to examine the cumulative effects of HRP complications on the risk of stunting in Indonesian children younger than 5 years while controlling for socioeconomic confounders. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in Sleman Regency, Indonesia, analyzing 450 children (300 children with stunting and 150 children without stunting) aged 12 to 59 months. Data were collected from maternal medical records, maternal and child health handbooks, and integrated health post reports. Multivariate logistic regression was used to adjust for socioeconomic confounders including maternal education, family income, and antenatal care (ANC) visits. Results: Mothers of children with stunting had significantly higher rates of any HRP complications (206/300, 68.7% vs 48/150, 32%; P<.001). After adjustment, multiple HRP complications (≥2 conditions) showed the strongest association with stunting (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 5.80, 95% CI 3.26-10.32), exceeding the risk associated with individual complications such as anemia (aOR 3.21, 95% CI 2.12-4.86) or preeclampsia (aOR 4.37, 95% CI 2.18-8.76). Maternal education (aOR 0.72, 95% CI 0.58-0.89), family income (aOR 0.68, 95% CI 0.52-0.89), and ANC visits (aOR 0.85, 95% CI 0.76-0.95) were identified as protective factors. Conclusions: The dose-response relationship between cumulative HRP complications and stunting supports the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease hypothesis. Current ANC protocols emphasizing single risk factors may be insufficient. Integrated prenatal care addressing cumulative risks is essential for stunting prevention in Indonesia.
