1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) are a risk factor for future cardiovascular disease; therefore, follow-up and implementation of early interventions is recommended. We performed a qualitative study to assess the feasibility and user response to a mobile-health tool and virtual consultation aimed at educating people with an HDP on future cardiovascular risk, and at better understanding patients' priorities for postpartum care. Methods: Participants with a history of an HDP in the past 5 years had access to an online educational tool and participated in a virtual consultation to discuss their cardiovascular risks after experiencing an HDP. Participants were invited to a focus group to obtain feedback on their postpartum experience and the Her-HEART program. Results: A total of 20 female participants were enrolled in the study between January 2020 and February 2021. Of these, 16 participants took part in 1 of 5 focus groups. Participants reported a lack of awareness of future cardiovascular disease risks prior to participating in the program, and identified barriers to counselling, including traumatic birth experiences, inappropriate timing, and competing priorities. Participants reported that the virtual Her-HEART program was an effective avenue to provide counselling on long-term cardiovascular risks. They highlighted the importance of coordinated care pathways and mental health support in postpartum follow-up programs. Conclusion: We have shown the feasibility of providing an educational website and virtual consultation to facilitate counselling in people affected by HDPs. Our results shed light on patient-reported priorities related to the content and delivery of postpartum counselling after an HDP.
