Preeclampsia and the Long-Term Risk of Developing Neurological Disorders Requiring Hospital Admission.

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
introductionPreeclampsia is associated with acute neurological complications during pregnancy, but the subsequent risk of developing a neurological disorder is unclear. We determined if preeclampsia was associated with the long-term risk of neurological morbidity.
methodsWe conducted a longitudinal cohort study of 1,460,098 pregnant women with and without preeclampsia in QC, Canada, between 1989 and 2023. The main exposure measure was preeclampsia diagnosed in any pregnancy. Outcomes included hospitalization for cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders up to 3 decades after pregnancy. Using Cox regression models adjusted for confounders, we estimated hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between preeclampsia and neurological disorders during 27,659,555 person-years of follow-up.
resultsThere were 1,460,098 women in the cohort, including 73,890 (5.1%) with preeclampsia. Women with preeclampsia had a higher incidence of neurological disorders than women without preeclampsia (113.2 vs. 79.3 per 100,000 person-years). Compared with no preeclampsia, preeclampsia was associated with 1.49 times the risk of later neurological hospitalization (95% CI 1.41-1.57). Preeclampsia was primarily associated with cerebrovascular disease (HR 1.89, 95% CI, 1.76-2.03) and epilepsy (HR 1.39, 95% CI, 1.24-1.57). A link with other neuropathology was less apparent, although severe preeclampsia was associated with neurodegenerative disorders. Severe hypertension, including early onset (HR 2.35, 95% CI, 2.06-2.68), recurrent (HR 2.47, 95% CI, 2.13-2.86), and superimposed preeclampsia (HR 2.60, 95% CI, 2.17-3.12), was more strongly associated with neurological hospitalization overall.
conclusionPreeclampsia is associated with the long-term risk of developing cerebrovascular disease and epilepsy, but associations with other neurological disorders are less prominent.
