Risk factors for the development of new-onset and persistent postpartum preeclampsia: A case-control study in Ghana.
Article in Women's health (London, England). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundPostpartum preeclampsia has been implicated in increasing hospital re-admissions, maternal morbidity, and mortality worldwide. The knowledge of the risk factors of postpartum preeclampsia would be helpful in formulating strategies to aid in the prevention, early diagnosis, and timely treatment of this disorder. Thus, this study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with the development of new-onset postpartum preeclampsia and persistent postpartum preeclampsia in the Ghanaian setting.
methodsThis case-control study was conducted at the Obstetrics and Gynecology units of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and the Kumasi Regional Hospital, both located in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. A total of 65 postpartum preeclamptic women (33 new-onset postpartum preeclampsia and 32 persistent postpartum preeclampsia) and 65 normotensive postpartum mothers were recruited from 48 h to 6 weeks post-delivery. Questionnaires were administered to assess the socio-demographic, lifestyle, obstetric characteristics, and past medical history of the study participants.
resultsPhysical inactivity (
conclusionPhysical inactivity, infrequent antenatal visits, analgesic use, contraceptive use, and cesarean delivery are major predisposing risk factors for the development of postpartum preeclampsia. Screening using these risk factors, close monitoring and follow-up observation of women after delivery would be beneficial in identifying and managing postpartum preeclampsia.
