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

backgroundAdverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) are associated with a higher risk of developing chronic hypertension. The objectives of this study were to determine whether patterns of perceived stress during and after pregnancy were associated with blood pressure and incident hypertension 2 to 7 years after delivery, and whether having an APO modified this association.

methodsAnalyses utilized data from the prospective nuMoM2b-HHS cohort (Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study: Monitoring Mothers-to-Be Heart Health Study). Perceived stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale in the first and third trimester and 2 to 7 years after delivery. Latent class trajectory analysis characterized subgroups with similar patterns of perceived stress over time. APOs were abstracted from medical charts and included hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age, and stillbirth. Multivariable regression models evaluated the independent effects of perceived stress on systolic and diastolic blood pressure and incident hypertension and 2 to 7 years after delivery.

resultsThree distinct stress trajectory groups emerged, delineated by persistently low, moderate, and high stress levels. No associations between stress trajectory group and blood pressure or incident hypertension were observed after adjustment for covariates. However, there was a significant interaction between stress trajectory group and APO on blood pressure (

conclusionsThese findings suggest that elevated perceived stress may contribute to higher blood pressure, specifically among women who had an APO.
