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

Pregnancy complications, such as hypertensive disorders, present a substantial global public health challenge, with significant long-term implications for maternal and offspring health. This cross-sectional study aims to determine the level of awareness regarding long-term health risks among women who experienced preeclampsia during pregnancy in Cyprus and Greece. The study participants included adult women with a history of preeclampsia, while women with normal pregnancies were used as the comparison group. Data collection took place between June 2021 and February 2022, utilizing an online, self-administered questionnaire. The study included 355 women, with 139 (39.2%) in the preeclampsia group and 216 (60.8%) in the comparison group. Findings revealed that more than half of the women with prior preeclampsia (55.4%) were not aware of hypertensive disorders that can occur during pregnancy before their diagnosis, and a similar percentage (45.2%) had not received information about the long-term health risks following their diagnosis. Remarkably, only 3 participants (4.7%) with a history of preeclampsia were aware of the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. There were no statistically significant differences between the preeclampsia and the comparison group regarding their concerns about long-term health risks, frequency of health checks, perceptions of factors influencing cardiovascular disease development, and doctor communication about different health topics, except from hypertension or high blood pressure. The study underscores the low level of awareness of long-term health risks among women with prior preeclampsia in Cyprus and Greece. This emphasizes the importance of implementing public health programs aimed at promoting cardiovascular risk assessment and effective management, both for clinicians and women with have experienced preeclampsia.
