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
backgroundSevere preeclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in settings with limited access to quality antenatal care. In Peru, structural inequalities, physically demanding informal labor, and psychosocial stressors may exacerbate the risk of severe preeclampsia; however, local evidence integrating clinical and social determinants is scarce.
methodsAn unmatched case–control study was conducted at a referral hospital in Ica, Peru, from 2018 to 2023. A total of 720 pregnant women were included: 237 cases with severe preeclampsia and 483 normotensive controls. Data were obtained exclusively from clinical records. Variables were grouped into six determinant domains (sociodemographic, occupational, antenatal access, obstetric history, nutritional status, and psychosocial factors), while perinatal outcomes were analyzed as secondary descriptive measures. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to identify independent factors associated with severe preeclampsia, focusing on etiological determinants rather than clinical prediction.
resultsSevere preeclampsia was independently associated with a prior history of preeclampsia (adjusted OR = 5.40; 95% CI: 2.70–10.80), chronic hypertension (OR = 2.35; 95% CI: 1.45–3.82), obesity (OR = 2.05; 95% CI: 1.43–2.95), nulliparity (OR = 1.78; 95% CI: 1.28–2.47), fewer than four antenatal visits (OR = 1.69; 95% CI: 1.23–2.33), high physical workload (OR = 1.41; 95% CI: 1.01–1.96), psychosocial stress (OR = 1.83; 95% CI: 1.32–2.54), and family history of hypertension (OR = 1.47; 95% CI: 1.01–2.14). The regression model showed acceptable overall fit (Hosmer–Lemeshow p = 0.42).
conclusionsThis study underscores the multifactorial nature of severe preeclampsia by integrating clinical, occupational, and psychosocial factors associated with the condition. The findings emphasize etiologically relevant associated factors rather than prediction, supporting their relevance for antenatal screening in contexts characterized by labor informality and limited obstetric coverage. These results support socially responsive preventive strategies emphasizing early and comprehensive prenatal care for vulnerable populations.
