Pregnancy and Neonatal Outcomes Among Women With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: A Systematic and Literature Review.
Review in Cureus, 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
Substantial health and social inequalities exist among women with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), which can have a negative impact on maternal and neonatal health. For this review, an extensive search of the databases PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library was performed from their inception to June 2026. Retrospective studies on outcomes of mothers and babies with IDD were included if they met the inclusion criteria. The quality was evaluated with the Risk of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. Retrospective cohort studies comprising more than 8.4 million pregnancies were included. Compared with women without IDD, women with IDD had higher rates of preterm birth (7.4%-2 3.3% vs. 5.0%-11.6%), small for gestational age (SGA) infants (13.1%-17.0%), low birth weight (LBW) (15.1%-15.4%), and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission (13.3%-20.6% vs. 5.0%-11.7%). Adverse neonatal outcomes were also more common, including stillbirth (aOR=2.40, 95% CI 1.70-3.40), neonatal death (aRR=2.31, 95% CI 1.38-3.87), and infant mortality (PR=4.93, 95% CI 3.73-6.43). Maternal IDD was associated with severe maternal morbidity (aRR=1.61-4.82) and maternal mortality (aRR=11.19, 95% CI 2.40-52.19). The results indicate a need to provide targeted prenatal care and multidisciplinary interventions to improve the outcomes of women with IDD and their infants.
