High prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in pregnant women in Benin.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
introductionModifiable cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) are highly prevalent in SubSaharan African communities. In these countries the burden of CVRF during early pregnancy has been poorly documented.
aimThe objective of this study was to describe the frequency of CVRF in pregnant women before the 20th week of gestation in Benin.
methodsConsecutive pregnant women with a gestational age < 20th week were included in 30 maternity clinics in Benin. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine characteristics associated with CVRF.
results1244 pregnant women were included (680 (54.7%) in urban areas and 584 (45.3%) in rural areas). The median age was 26 years. The frequencies of high blood pressure (HBP), obesity and diabetes were 18.9%, 15.0% and 3.1% respectively. Very few women (25.3%) were aware of the HBP disorder. HBP was associated with an age ≥ 35 years (OR = 1.7, 95%CI:1.1-2.7), a rural setting (OR = 2.6; 95%CI:1.9-3.5), an insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables (OR = 3.2; 95%CI:2.0-5.3) and a history of at least 2 fetal losses (OR = 1.9; 95% CI [1.4-2.7]). The risk of being overweight was associated with an age >24 years old (OR = 1.6; 95%CI:1.1-2.2) conversely a rural setting was protective (OR = 0.7; 95%CI:0.5-0.9). Obesity was associated with an age > 35 years old (OR = 4.1; 95%CI:2.5-6.8) and a rural setting (OR = 0.3; 95%CI: 0.2-0.5).
conclusionThe frequency of CVRF in women before 20th week of gestation was high. Most of the women were unaware of the disorder. Thus the screening of CVRF among women of reproductive age might be relevant.
