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

objectiveDespite on-going research into the underlying pathology of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, maternal mortality is hardly decreasing. Current antihypertensive therapy is aimed at controlling symptoms and preventing severe courses of pregnancy. Traditional management focuses on blood pressure (BP) control, but does not consider individual hemodynamic variations. Hemodynamically guided therapy offers a personalized approach that can improve BP control and outcomes by treating the underlying pathophysiology. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of hemodynamically guided antihypertensive therapy in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and to present the results of recent intervention trials in this area.

methodsLiterature searches were conducted in the electronic databases PubMed, CENTRAL, and Google scholar from inception to May 2024 for studies that used maternal hemodynamic parameters like cardiac output (CO) or TPVR (total peripheral vascular resistance) to guide antihypertensive therapy in pregnant women with hypertensive disorders or at elevated risk for developing preeclampsia. The review included intervention studies.

resultsA total of five studies met the inclusion criteria. All studies showed improved BP control when the antihypertensive medication administered was matched to hemodynamic characteristics of the women being treated. Using a personalized approach, pregnancy complications were significantly reduced in patients with both hypo- or hyperdynamic circulation, even in patients with a history of preeclampsia.

conclusionThe study shows that hemodynamically triggered antihypertensive therapy can improve outcomes for both mother and child in cases of hypertensive pregnancy disorders. However, further placebo-controlled studies are necessary before a final assessment of this therapy can be made.
