Knowledge and Awareness of Cardiovascular Risk Factors Among Women With a History of Pregnancy Complications in Australia: A World Heart Federation Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in The Australian & New Zealand journal of obstetrics & gynaecology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, and women who experience complications during pregnancy, such as pregnancy loss (miscarriage and stillbirth), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational diabetes, have a significantly higher risk of future CVD. Increasing awareness of CVD risk among these women is crucial for effective engagement in risk reduction programs.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional survey using a non-probability sampling method was adopted to explore the CVD knowledge and awareness of women with a history of complications of pregnancy. Distribution occurred from February to December 2021 via two tertiary hospitals in Australia and various groups in social media.
resultsOf 364 survey responses received, a sample of 299 completed responses were considered for final analysis. The participants' mean knowledge score regarding CVD risk factors was 14.5 (SD ± 4.6; range 0-25). Among them, 50.2% had poor knowledge, 25.1% had moderate knowledge, and only 24.7% had good knowledge of CVD and its risk factors in women. Statistically significant differences in knowledge scores were observed based on ethnicity (p = 0.009) and education level (p = 0.007).
conclusionThis study revealed a significant gap in CVD knowledge among women with pregnancy complications, highlighting the need for targeted educational programs. Improving health literacy, particularly among high-risk and lower socioeconomic groups, is crucial for reducing CVD incidence.
