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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the persistence of hypertension at three months postpartum in women who experienced preeclampsia during pregnancy. Methods: A prospective observational study at Hospital das Clínicas de Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, included 24 women. Blood pressure measurements and/or antihypertensive use were assessed, alongside risk factors such as body mass index (BMI), heart rate, lipid profile and C-reactive protein (CRP). Data on demographic, obstetric and lifestyle factors were also collected. Results: Out of 24 postpartum women enrolled in this study, 15 (62.5%) of participants remained hypertensive three months after delivery. Women with early-onset preeclampsia had a 2.36-fold increased risk of persistent hypertension at three months postpartum. No significant differences were found among risk factors for persistent hypertension. Conclusion: Our results indicate a high prevalence of persistent hypertension in women with preeclampsia in Brazil. The findings highlight the need for extended monitoring specially in early onset preeclampsia and targeted lifestyle interventions.
