Assessing the risk of preeclampsia/eclampsia in Mississippi black women with chronic kidney disease using electronic health records.
Article in Pregnancy hypertension, 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
objectivesPreeclampsia (PE) is risk factor for renal dysfunction, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with higher prevalence of PE. However, the role of preexisting CKD in PE development in minority mothers has been understudied. Additionally, previous studies rarely examine CKD on PE risk independent from common comorbidities seen in patients with CKD such as hypertension (HTN) and diabetes. Our objective was to determine whether there were disparities in PE risk and overall outcomes in mothers with and without preexisting CKD in white and black mothers from a single-center in Mississippi. STUDY
designWe retrospectively analyzed electronic health records (EHR) from de-identified mothers with known gestation dates (n = 29,451) from the University of Mississippi Medical Center from 2013 to 2022.
resultsBlack mothers had a significantly increased prevalence of CKD (0.9%) as compared to white mothers (0.6%), which was associated with a higher prevalence of PE (38%) as compared to white CKD mothers (23%). Baseline CKD was also associated with a significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality in blacks but not whites. After controlling for age, medication, baseline HTN, and diabetes, black race (HR 1.7) and CKD (HR 3.2) were major independent risk factors for PE.
conclusionAlthough the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, these findings are crucial for improving pre- and post-parturition care for Black CKD pregnant patients to benefit both the fetus and mother. In a rural Mississippi population, our data demonstrates a significant association of pre-existing CKD and incident PE in black patients, suggesting apotential role for renal dysfunction in driving the increased prevalence of PE in this population. Future research aims to investigate genetic factors causing renal and endothelial changes to better understand and address the causes of higher rates of preeclampsia in black women with CKD.
