Taking acetaminophen during pregnancy does not increase the risk of autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or intellectual disability among children. That is according to the most rigorous analysis of the evidence to date, published in The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynecology & Women’s Health, and led by researchers from City St George’s, University of London.

      Okay, that at least clears some things up. I haven’t checked the other four papers you listed, to be clear, but Brenner & Chertow (1994) isn’t even about analgesics generically. I’m perplexed that you didn’t just link to the abstract for Penna et al. (2021) to begin with, especially because it doesn’t seem like you’ve read any of these or the paper you got them from. That’s why I assumed an LLM: because even reading just reading the title of Brenner & Chertow (1994), you can tell it’s only tangentially relevant to what’s being discussed.

        Mostly because the type of people who ask questions like this are the “I did my own research type”. To be cited as a source doesn’t necessarily mean the paper cited or source cited is to do specifically with the purpose of the study, but that some aspect of the study relied on data from said source. They asked a question they could have googled. I admit my answer was lazy, but my laziness matched the effort of the question.

        I also admit that I thought I linked the paper but did not. Thats on me. A sanity check was warranted.
