1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To identify factors associated with the risk of cognitive developmental delay in 12-month-old infants and provide evidence for early risk screening and intervention. Methods: A case-control study was conducted among 762 twelve-month-old children who underwent developmental screening with the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST) at Sichuan Provincial Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from 2024 to 2025. Of these, 381 with suspected or abnormal development were assigned to the case group, and 381 with normal results served as controls. Perinatal, family, and caregiving factors were collected and were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results: Cesarean delivery (OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.05-1.93), maternal alcohol use during pregnancy (OR = 9.12, 95% CI: 1.09-76.33), pre-pregnancy overweight (OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 1.02-2.58) and obesity (OR = 2.54, 95% CI: 1.08-5.95), inadequate (OR = 4.09, 95% CI: 1.74-9.62) or excessive (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.10-2.29) gestational weight gain, and grandparental caregiving (OR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.32-2.46) were independent risk factors. Higher paternal education (postgraduate or above; OR = 0.06, 95% CI: 0.01-0.56) and annual household income > 300,000 CNY (OR = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.12-0.80) were protective. Conclusion: Cognitive developmental risk at 12 months was associated with multiple perinatal, familial, and caregiving-related factors. A comprehensive assessment of potentially modifiable factors, including delivery mode, maternal weight status, gestational weight gain, prenatal alcohol exposure, and caregiving arrangements, may help identify infants at increased developmental risk and provide evidence for targeted early prevention and intervention strategies.
