1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPsychosocial stress is a cardiovascular risk factor; however, little is known about whether prenatal psychosocial stressors influence postpartum cardiovascular health. We aimed to examine the associations of multiple measures of prenatal psychosocial stress on maternal blood pressure (BP) in the first 4 years after birth.

methodsAmong 225 MADRES cohort (Maternal and Developmental Risks From Environmental and Social Stressors) participants, we examined associations of average prenatal Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) scores, and second-trimester neighborhood social cohesion scores on systolic and diastolic BP collected at annual postpartum study visits (1-4 years) using linear mixed-effects models, adjusted for covariates.

resultsHigher prenatal PSS and CES-D scores were associated with greater diastolic BP at 1 year postpartum (0.24 [95% CI, 0.01-0.46] and 0.24 [95% CI, 0.08-0.40] mm Hg per 1-unit higher PSS and CES-D, respectively) and greater systolic BP (0.25 [95% CI, 0.02-0.48] mm Hg per 1-unit higher CES-D). Overall associations of PSS and CES-D with BP were attenuated over the 4-year postpartum period (

conclusionsHigher prenatal perceived stress and depressive symptoms were associated with greater 1-year postpartum BP, whereas neighborhood cohesion was associated with lower 1-year postpartum BP. These results suggest prenatal psychosocial factors may impact cardiovascular health within the first year after birth.
