Adverse Childhood Experiences are Associated with Miscarriage in Adulthood: The GROWH Study.
Article in Maternal and child health journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectivesTo investigate whether adverse childhood experiences are associated with miscarriage.
methodsThe Gulf Resilience on Women's Health Consortium recruited from clinics and community organizations in Southern Louisiana, 2011-2016. Data from 1511 reproductive-aged women with at least one pregnancy were analyzed. Adverse childhood experiences including abuse, neglect, and family dysfunction, as a child (< age 12), and as an adolescent (12-17), were assessed. Outcome measures were self-reported miscarriage at first pregnancy and at any pregnancy, analyzed with logistic regression with adjustment for maternal age at pregnancy, race, BMI, education, marital and smoking status.
resultsWomen reporting four or more adversities as a child and as a teen had higher odds of experiencing miscarriage at first pregnancy (AOR
conclusionsChildhood adversities were associated with miscarriage. Further research is needed on the pathways which created this association, including psychological, behavioral, and physiological mechanisms and factors which can mitigate the effects of these outcomes.
