Factors related to postpartum length of stay in women with pre-eclampsia: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 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
objectiveTo conduct a systematic review in order to identify risk factors for the length of hospital stay in postpartum women with pregnancy-induced hypertensive disorders.
methodsA systematic search was performed in the databases CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS) (via VirtualHealth Library-VHL), PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for articles published until November 2024. To identify the articles, "Medical Subject Headings" (MeSH) descriptors and keywords for "Preeclampsia", "Length of stay" and "Postpartum" were used. The descriptors were adapted for each database and combined using Boolean operators (OR and AND). Cohort and case-control studies were included if: presented a population of patients with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, addressed length of stay as an outcome and were published in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
resultsThe initial search retrieved approximately 2,580 articles, eight of which met the inclusion criteria. The main risk factors for increased length of hospital stay were ascites (p < 0.001), cesarean delivery (p < 0.0001), drug-related problems (p = 0.0001), diastolic blood pressure above 100 mmHg (p = 0.006), intrauterine growth restriction (p = 0.0001), preeclampsia severity (p < 0.001), Congestive Heart Failure (p < 0.001) and Ventricular Tachycardia (p = 0.001). The included studies had a cohort design, with the general methodological quality considered good.
conclusionsThis review identified multiple factors influencing postpartum length of stay in women with preeclampsia, highlighting cesarean delivery and drug-related problems as key contributors. The findings underscore the importance of tailored interventions and local assessments to optimize hospital management and improve maternal outcomes.
