Life stressors, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and preterm birth.
Article in Journal of psychosomatic obstetrics and gynaecology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundStress-induced pregnancy complications are thought to represent a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality; little is known regarding types of stress most predictive of adverse outcomes.
methodsWe used Utah PRAMs 2012-2014 data to evaluate links between preconception life stressors and prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and pre-term labor (PTB) (births <37 weeks gestational age, and very PTB <33 weeks). We categorized 12 specific stressful events into 4 groups: partner, traumatic, financial, and emotional. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated controlling for important sociodemographic, lifestyle, and pregnancy history factors.
results4,378 mothers completed the survey. 26.6%, 12.2%, 32.2%, and 28.4% reported partner, traumatic, financial, and emotional-related stress. Reporting any of the 4-types of life stress was linked with increased prevalence of HDP (aPR: 1.46 [95% CI: 0.96, 2.22]) after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, BMI, education, prior diagnosis of high blood pressure, and prior history of preterm labor. The strongest association was observed for financial stress (aPR: 1.50 [95% CI: 1.03, 2.18]). Financial stress was also associated with increased prevalence of very PTB (aPR: 1.61 [95% CI: 1.03, 2.51]) after adjustment.
conclusionWomen reporting financial stress, including job loss, pay reduction, or difficulty paying bills, had increased prevalence of HDP and very PTB.
