Uncertainty in Knowledge and Care: Pregnant Women's Experiences With Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy in Eastern Indonesia-A Qualitative Study.
Article in The Australian & New Zealand journal of obstetrics & gynaecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study explores the experiences of pregnant women with HDP in Eastern Indonesia, focusing on how they perceive the condition, access care, and manage the emotional and practical challenges during pregnancy.
methodsA qualitative phenomenological design was used, involving in-depth interviews with 15 pregnant women diagnosed with HDP across three primary healthcare centers in Eastern Indonesia. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, transcribed verbatim, and analysed thematically.
resultsFour themes emerged: (1) Emotional distress and psychological burden following HDP diagnosis; (2) Uncertainty in knowledge and care, exacerbated by inconsistent medical information and limited provider communication; (3) Diverse coping strategies, ranging from active information seeking to avoidance and reliance on social support; and (4) Self-management combining medical advice, lifestyle changes, and traditional practices. These findings reveal critical gaps in health education, communication, and culturally appropriate care delivery.
conclusionThis study highlights the need for context-specific, culturally sensitive approaches to HDP management. Interventions should strengthen patient-provider communication, standardise care practices, and integrate health education at the primary level. Understanding women's lived experiences is essential to improving maternal outcomes in low-resource settings and reducing Indonesia's maternal mortality rate.
