Sleep disordered breathing and the risk of severe maternal morbidity in women with preeclampsia: A population-based study.
Article in Pregnancy hypertension, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may exacerbate the widespread endothelial dysfunction seen in preeclampsia, potentially worsening clinical outcomes. We aimed to assess whether OSA is associated with an increased risk of severe maternal morbidity, cardiovascular morbidity, and healthcare utilization among women with preeclampsia. STUDY
designWe performed a retrospective cohort study utilizing data from the National Perinatal Information Center (2010-2014) in the United States.The cohort comprised women with preeclampsia. We estimated the association between OSA and the outcomes using logistic regression analyses and determined odds ratio adjusted for demographic factors and comorbidities (OR
main outcome measuresThe primary outcome was a composite of mortality and severe maternal morbidity comprising intensive care unit (ICU) admission, acute renal failure, pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and stroke. Secondary outcomes comprised the subset of cardiovascular events, as well as increased healthcare utilization (including Cesarean delivery, preterm birth, ICU admission, and prolonged length of hospital stay).
resultsIn total, 71,159 women had preeclampsia, including 270 (0.4 %) with OSA. Women with preeclampsia and OSA were more likely to experience severe maternal morbidity than women without OSA (OR
conclusionIn women with preeclampsia, OSA increases the risk for severe maternal morbidity, cardiovascular morbidity, and healthcare utilization.
