Effects of pregnancy and lactation-associated osteoporosis on children: analysis using linked mother and child data.
Article in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 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
introductionThe health status of children born to mothers with pregnancy and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) and impaired bone homeostasis remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal PLO on child health, the PLO-predisposing factors related to such effects, and the incidence of the condition. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom a claims dataset comprising 172,730 mothers linked with their 210,124 children, mothers who developed fragility fractures between 5 months before and 12 months after delivery, along with their children, were defined as the PLO group. Healthy controls were randomly selected by matching maternal age and child sex. Body mass index (BMI), drug use, and maternal and pediatric diseases were compared between the two groups.
resultsFifty-nine mothers and 65 children were included in the PLO group, and 11,556 mothers and 11,664 children served as the control group. The most common PLO fracture was a vertebral fracture, and delayed diagnosis was common. Maternal PLO had few adverse effects on child health. There were trends toward a higher frequency of birth asphyxia in singletons (P = 0.072) and low birth weight in twins (P = 0.070) in the case children, but with no significant differences. The incidence of PLO was estimated at 374 per million deliveries. Multiple delivery, maternal age ≥ 40 years, low BMI, heparin use, and ovulation disorder were identified as predisposing factors for PLO.
conclusionThere is little evidence that maternal PLO adversely affects child health. The predisposing factors for PLO suggest that caution is warranted regarding current advancements in reproductive technology.
