Relationships Among Number of Stressors, Perceived Stress, and Salivary Cortisol Levels During the Third Trimester of Pregnancy.
Article in Journal of obstetric, gynecologic, and neonatal nursing : JOGNN, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06970886 (Effects of Rhythm-Based Music on Anxiety, Glucose, and Cortisol in Pregnancies With Gestational Diabetes), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine relationships among the number of stressors, perceived stress, and salivary cortisol levels during the third trimester of pregnancy.
designSecondary analysis of cross-sectional data.
settingParticipants' homes.
participantsWomen during the third trimester of pregnancy (N = 73).
methodsParticipants provided saliva samples at four time points over 2 days for cortisol assay and completed questionnaires to assess stressors and perceived stress. We computed multiple linear regression models to examine the relationships among the number of stressors and perceived stress to cortisol awakening response, diurnal slope, and overall cortisol secretion. We also computed a multiple linear regression model to examine the relationship between perceived stress and the number of stressors.
resultsGreater perceived stress was associated with reduced overall cortisol secretion across the day (β = -0.41, p = .01). The number of stressors was associated with perceived stress (β = 0.48, p = .002) but not salivary cortisol measures.
conclusionElevated perceived stress and the related cortisol alterations that we identified could represent salient targets for enhancing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis function during the third trimester. Perceived stress may shape the relationship between exposure to stressors and cortisol response during pregnancy. Future research is warranted to confirm study results and to understand the implications for parturition and fetal development.
