Dyslipidaemia-related cardiovascular risk among pregnant women attending Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital Kano: A longitudinal study.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveMaternal dyslipidaemia and atherogenic lipid profiles have undesirable effects on maternal and foetal well-being throughout gestation. This study investigates the changes in serum lipid profiles, the prevalence of dyslipidaemia, and the risk of cardiovascular disease among pregnant women attending the antenatal care unit of the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), Kano.
methodsA total of 112 pregnant women visiting AKTH in their second trimester were recruited and followed up within their third trimester. The demographic characteristics, daily dietary consumption patterns, and lipid profiles of all women were assessed using standard methods.
resultsThe results revealed that the mean age and gestational age of the pregnant women were approximately 29 ± 6 years and 20 ± 3 weeks, respectively. Most pregnant women were multiparous (76) and multigravida (93). Regarding daily dietary consumption patterns, 20.5%, 63.4%, 13.4%, and 8.0% of the pregnant women consumed nuts, palm oil, butter, and sardines at least one to three times, respectively. Moreover, the serum lipid profiles revealed that the prevalence of dyslipidaemia, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia, increased low-density lipoprotein levels, and decreased high-density lipoprotein levels among pregnant women during the second trimester were 69.6%, 19.6%, 36.6%, 18.8%, and 49.1%, respectively. All these parameters significantly increased to 91.8%, 54.1%, 75.3%, 40.0%, and 62.4%, respectively, in the third trimester. Pregnant women showed a high risk of cardiovascular disease in both the second (81.0%) and third (85.0%) trimesters.
conclusionProgression from mid-pregnancy to delivery is associated with an increased risk of maternal dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular diseases among pregnant women.
