Life stressors, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, and gestational diabetes by race/ethnicity.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIn the United States, adverse pregnancy outcomes, including hypertension before pregnancy (HTN), pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) [gestational hypertension and preeclampsia] and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) continue to increase. Stressful life events (SLEs) such as serious illness, divorce, are known to impact adverse birth outcomes, e.g., preterm birth, especially among Black women, low-income women, and other minority women than White women. However, there is limited evidence on SLEs adverse pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, the objective of this study is to provide an overview of trends in stressful life events from 2009 to 2020 and their impacts on hypertension before pregnancy, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and gestational diabetes mellitus in the United States and to understand these effects by race/ethnicity.
methodsA secondary analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention national Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data from 2009 to 2020 was performed. SLEs, HTN before pregnancy, PIH, and GDM, were examined with data visualizations and multivariable weighted log-binomial modeling.
resultsAny SLE prevalence was 66% to 72%, with Black women having higher SLEs than White women. SLE was associated with HTN before pregnancy (ARR = 1.082), PIH (ARR = 1.059), and GDM (ARR = 1.030). Effects of race/ethnicity differed across these outcomes.
conclusionGreater SLE is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Black women continue to experience higher SLEs and are at higher risk of HTN before pregnancy and PIH. The findings of this study indicate there is an interplay between SLEs, HTN before pregnancy, PIH, and GDM, as well as race/ethnicity. This information is vital for public health efforts to reduce the disparities in adverse pregnancy outcomes.
