Moderately elevated blood pressure during pregnancy and odds of hypertension later in life: the POUCHmoms longitudinal study.
Article in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveHypertensive disorders in pregnancy signal an increased risk of cardiovascular disease for women. However, future hypertension risk among pregnant women with moderately elevated blood pressure (BP) is unknown. We examined associations among moderately elevated BP or hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and later prehypertension or hypertension.
designLongitudinal cohort study.
settingFive communities in Michigan, USA. SAMPLE: Data are from pregnant women enrolled in the Pregnancy Outcomes and Community Health Study. We included 667 women with gestational BP measurements who participated in the POUCHmoms Study follow-up 7-15 years later.
methodsModerately elevated BP was defined as two measures of systolic BP ≥ 120 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥80 mmHg among women without a hypertensive disorder. Weighted multinomial logistic regression models estimated odds of prehypertension or hypertension at follow-up, adjusted for maternal confounders and time to follow-up.
main outcome measuresPrehypertension or hypertension.
resultsWomen meeting the moderately elevated BP criteria (64%) had significantly higher odds of hypertension at follow-up (adjusted odds ratio 2.6; 95% confidence interval 1.2-5.5). These increased odds were observed for moderately elevated BP first identified before or after 20 weeks of gestation, and for elevated systolic BP alone or combined with elevated diastolic BP.
conclusionsModerately elevated BP in pregnancy may be a risk factor for future hypertension. Pregnancy offers an opportunity to identify women at risk for hypertension who may not have been identified otherwise. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Moderately elevated blood pressure in pregnancy may be associated with hypertension later in life.
