Pregnancy-Associated Maternal Mortality Within One Year After Childbirth: Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to assess associations between pregnancy complications and pregnancy-associated maternal mortality (PAM) within 1 year after childbirth.
designPopulation-based cohort study.
settingNorway, 1967-2020. POPULATION: 1 237 254 mothers with one or more singleton pregnancies registered in the Medical Birth Registry, 1967-2019 and followed in the Cause of Death Registry to 2020.
methodsLogistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusted for maternal education, age, year of first childbirth and chronic medical conditions.
main outcome measuresPAM by lifetime history of pregnancy complications: placental abruption, preeclampsia, preterm birth, perinatal death, small for gestational age (< 2.5 percentile), gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension.
resultsCrude OR for PAM was 4.24 (95% CI 3.53-5.10), if complications occurred in the last pregnancy, whereas 2.52 (2.08-3.06) if complications occurred in the first pregnancy, compared to mothers without complications in any pregnancy. Adjusted ORs for PAM when complications occurred in the last pregnancy were, for placental abruption 3.75 (1.20-11.72), preeclampsia: 4.42 (3.17-6.15), preterm birth: 4.32 (3.25-5.75), perinatal death: 24.18 (16.66-35.08), small for gestational age: 2.90 (1.85-4.54), gestational diabetes: 1.43 (0.63-3.25) and pregnancy hypertension: 2.05 (1.12-3.74) compared to mothers without complications. The OR for PAM increased slightly by increasing the number of complicated pregnancies but the trend was stronger for increasing number of complications in the last pregnancy (e.g., during 1999-2019: one complication; 4.14 [2.79-6.13], two complications; 11.50 [6.81-19.43]).
conclusionComplications in the last pregnancy were more strongly associated with PAM than those in the first pregnancy.
