Maternal kidney adaptation and function in pregnancy: review and perspectives.
Review in Function (Oxford, England), 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
Pregnancy imposes considerable physiological demands on the maternal kidney, requiring coordinated structural, hemodynamic, and molecular adaptations to maintain homeostasis and support fetal development. This review synthesizes renal changes throughout normal and abnormal gestation, emphasizing the dynamic interactions among maternal, placental, and fetal systems. These adaptations are driven by integrated hormonal pathways, including the renin-angiotensin system and vasodilatory mediators, as well as emerging mechanotransductive processes that enable the kidney to sense and respond to increased flow and pressure. Bidirectional signaling between the placenta and maternal kidney aligns maternal physiology with fetal demand. Dysregulation of these processes leads to complications such as preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and pregnancy-associated acute kidney injury, with lasting consequences for maternal and offspring health. Key gaps remain in defining kidney and placental interactions, renal immune and mechanosensory roles, and accurate biomarkers of renal function in pregnancy. Advancing research in these areas is critical to improving diagnosis and outcomes in renal and pregnancy-related disorders.
