Association between lipid profile in early pregnancy and the risk of congenital heart disease in offspring: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study aimed to investigate the association of lipid profile in early pregnancy and the risk of congenital heart disease (CHD) in offspring. This study was a prospective cohort design based on the Fujian Birth Cohort Study in China. We recruited pregnant women at ≤ 14 weeks of gestation between 2019 and 2022, and all participants in this study filled out the questionnaire about periconceptional exposure. Simultaneously, we collected participants' fasting blood samples to measure their lipid profile by automatic biochemical analyzer. The outcome was defined as offspring with CHD. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to calculate adjusted odds ratio (AOR) risk estimates, which indicate the associations between maternal lipid profiles and CHD in offspring. Restricted cubic splines were used to estimate their nonlinear relationship. A total of 21,425 pregnant women with an average gestational age of 11.3 (± 1.40) weeks were included in the analysis. The higher triglyceride (AOR 1.201, 95% CI [1.036, 1.394]), low-density lipoprotein (AOR 1.216, 95% CI [1.048, 1.410]), apolipoprotein B (Apo B) (AOR 2.107, 95% CI [1.179, 3.763]) levels were correlated with increased odds of CHD in offspring, while high-density lipoprotein (OR 0.672, 95% CI [0.490, 0.920]) related with decreased odds of CHD in offspring. The restricted cubic spline suggested a nonlinear relationship between total cholesterol (TC) levels and the risk of CHD in offspring (P = 0.0048), but no significant nonlinear relationships were found in other lipid profile. Apolipoprotein A was not related to the risk of CHD in offspring as either a continuous variable or a hierarchical variable. Elevated lipid profile in early pregnancy levels are associated with an increased risk of CHD in offspring. Additionally, there is a non-linear relationship between TC levels and the risk of CHD in offspring.
