Universal Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment in Pregnancy: Call to Action
Review in JACC. Advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate among developed countries, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) being one of the leading causes of maternal deaths. Diagnosing CVD during pregnancy may be challenging as symptoms of normal pregnancy overlap with those of CVD. Delays in recognition and response to the diagnosis of CVD is a missed opportunity for timely intervention to improve maternal outcomes. Implementing universal CVD risk assessment for all pregnant and postpartum patients across clinical care settings presents a pivotal opportunity to address this issue. Integrating a validated risk assessment tool into routine obstetric care, clinicians, including obstetricians, primary care, and emergency healthcare providers, can enhance awareness of cardiovascular risk and facilitate early CVD diagnosis. Consensus among stakeholders underscores the importance of screening and education on cardiovascular health strategies for pregnant and postpartum patients to reduce CVD-related maternal mortality. This comprehensive approach offers a pathway to identify at-risk individuals and intervene promptly, potentially saving lives and advancing maternal healthcare equity.
