Association between maternal personality traits and fetal atherogenic indices: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 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
backgroundPersonality traits have been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in adults through the development of atherogenic dyslipidemia. However, the potential influence of maternal personality traits on fetal atherogenic indices remains unexplored. This study aimed to determine the association between maternal personality traits and atherogenic indices in cord blood.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 384 mother-newborn pairs were enrolled. Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were measured in cord plasma. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-HDL-C were calculated using TG, TC and HDL-C levels. Fetal atherogenic indices including TG/HDL-C, TG/LDL-C, TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C and non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratios, were computed. Maternal personality traits were assessed using the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) questionnaire. The association between maternal personality traits and fetal atherogenic indices was examined using linear regression models.
resultsNostatistically significant associations were observed between maternal personality traits and fetal levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, HDL-C and non-HDL-C. Additionally, no significant associations were found between maternal personality traits and any of the fetal atherogenic indices (all p > 0.05).
conclusionTheresults indicate that maternal personality traits are not associated with atherogenic indices in fetal cord blood.
