Pregnancy outcome and relationship with hypertensive retinopathy in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy among antenatal patients of a tertiary hospital in Nigeria.
Observational study 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
introductionHypertensive retinopathy can occur among women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of hypertensive retinopathy in HDP, and its relationship with pregnancy outcome measures among antenatal patients at Federal Teaching Hospital (FTH), Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria.
methodThis was a tertiary hospital-based observational prospective study carried out between March and December 2023. One hundred and fifty participants who met the recruitment eligibility criteria were enrolled in the study. All patients had physical and ocular examinations. The findings were recorded and analyzed using SPSS v24.0. Categorical variables were summarized as proportions and percentages. Comparison of variables was done using the Chi-square test; a p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
resultsThe proportion of retinopathy in the study population was 58.7%. Pregnancy outcome measures observed to have a significant correlation with hypertensive retinopathy were maternal outcome [seizures] (p = 0.004), preterm delivery (p = 0.013) and low birth weight (p = 0.033). Pregnancy outcome measures without a significant correlation with hypertensive retinopathy included mode of delivery (p = 0.114), neonatal outcome (p = 0.231), and APGAR score (p = 0.483).
conclusionRetinopathy in hypertensive disorder of pregnancy was significantly associated with maternal outcome (seizure), preterm delivery and low birth weight. It is recommended from these results that advocacy for strengthening maternal & child health (MCH) and education, to prevent complications of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, is important.
