Social relationships and cardiometabolic risk in low-income mothers following birth.
Article in Health psychology : official journal of the Division of Health Psychology, American Psychological Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 social environment influences women's cardiometabolic health across the lifespan, but little is known about women's cardiometabolic health in the time surrounding birth. The goals of the present study were to use a person-centered approach to characterize social relationship profiles of low-to-middle income Black, Latina, and White women and test associations with postpartum cardiometabolic risk.
methodData were collected by the Community Child Health Network (CCHN), a community-based participatory research network (Nanalytic sample = 1,328). Home interviews at 1, 6, and 12 months after birth assessed the quality and functioning of social relationships at multiple levels including intimate partner, family, social network, and neighborhood. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify profiles of women who shared similar social characteristics. Standardized cardiometabolic risk and clinical cutoff risk indices were computed from measures of blood pressure, waist circumference, glycosylated hemoglobin, and HDL cholesterol collected at 6- and 12-month post birth. Logistic regression was used to determine associations of profile membership with sociodemographic characteristics and cardiometabolic risk.
resultsLPA analyses revealed four profiles: (a) strong relationships, (b) strong partner/weak network, (c) weak partner/strong network, and (d) weak relationships. Women with a higher standardized cardiometabolic risk score were 1.72 and 1.81 times more likely to be in the weak partner/strong network profile than the strong relationships or strong partner/weak network profiles. Cardiometabolic clinical cutoff scores were unrelated to profile membership.
conclusionThese findings have implications for the identification of women for intervention before, during, or after pregnancy to reduce cardiometabolic risk. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
