Pre-Eclampsia and Its Associated Factors Among Pregnant Women in Ghana: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Pre-eclampsia remains a major cause of feto-maternal death in Ghana, with a rising incidence linked to multiple factors that hinder prevention. Despite it's impact, few studies have explored associated risks. This study assessed the prevalence, risk factors, and maternal-neonatal outcomes associated with pre-eclampsia among pregnant women at Kumasi South Hospital between January 2020 and May 2025. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted among 519 pregnant women who delivered at Kumasi South Hospital between January 2020 and May 2025. Data on sociodemographic, obstetric, clinical, and maternal-neonatal outcomes were extracted from medical records. Categorical variables were reported as frequencies and percentages, and binary logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors. Results: The prevalence of pre-eclampsia was 28.1%, with significant associations observed for adverse maternal/neonatal outcomes. After adjusting for multiple confounders, inadequate ANC visits [aOR = 4.79, 95% CI: 1.19-19.23, Conclusion: Pre-eclampsia was common among pregnant women delivering at KSH, negatively impacting maternal and neonatal outcomes. These findings highlight the need for closer antenatal monitoring and early identification of these risk factors to reduce the maternal and neonatal burden of pre-eclampsia.
