Pregnancy Outcomes Among Individuals With Cerebral Palsy: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo examine the risks of maternal, neonatal and non-obstetrical medical complications in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) compared to those without CP.
designPopulation-based cohort study.
settingOntario, Canada. POPULATION: Females aged 13-54 years with a livebirth or stillbirth, 2004-2023.
methodsIndividuals with (N = 1400) and without CP (N = 2 276 561) were compared using modified Poisson regression, adjusted for socio-demographics, followed by clinical characteristics.
main outcome measuresMaternal (e.g., severe maternal morbidity or mortality), neonatal (e.g., severe neonatal morbidity or mortality) and non-obstetrical medical complications (e.g., seizure disorders) in the perinatal period.
resultsAfter adjusting for socio-demographics, individuals with CP had an elevated risk, compared to those without CP, of severe maternal morbidity or mortality (adjusted relative risk [aRR] 1.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.36-2.34), caesarean section (1.38, 1.27-1.50) and maternal hospital readmission (1.86; 1.34-2.58). Their newborns were at elevated risk for preterm birth (1.67, 1.43-1.94), small for gestational age (1.34, 1.19-1.52), congenital anomalies (1.77, 1.40-2.24) and severe neonatal morbidity or mortality (1.48, 1.28-1.71). Individuals with CP were also at elevated risk of seizure disorders (13.06, 10.45-16.33) and urinary tract infections (1.50, 1.25-1.79) perinatally. aRRs were slightly attenuated, but remained statistically significant after further adjusting for clinical characteristics.
conclusionIndividuals with CP are at elevated risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Findings suggest the need for enhanced preconception counselling, perinatal monitoring and postpartum supports for individuals with CP, facilitated by multidisciplinary care teams.
