Arterial Function in Healthy Pregnant Women vs. Non-Pregnant Women-A 10-Year Study.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
introductionMaternal age for the first pregnancy is increasing and so, the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in pregnancy is also increasing. Heart disease is the main reason for maternal death during pregnancy in developed countries. Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The most widespread parameters for detecting subclinical atherosclerosis are augmentation index (AIx) and pulse wave velocity (PWV). The objective of this prospective study was to assess the differences between arterial function in pregnant vs. non-pregnant women of the same age, and its changes throughout the gestation period. MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween 2010-2019, 887 patients were enrolled into 2 groups: pregnant (N1 = 471) and non-pregnant (N2 = 416). Data about their anthropometric characteristics, arterial function (for group 1 in all three trimesters and 6 weeks post-partum), smoking status and physical activity were collected.
resultsThere were statistically significant differences (
conclusionsArterial function modifies during pregnancy and these alterations differ according to the trimester of gestation. Further research is needed to establish the cut-off values for this category. Pregnant women can have better outcomes through physical activity.
