1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a leading cause of maternal and morbidity and mortality. Social support has been linked to improved cardiovascular health but its relationship to maternal blood pressure (BP) remains unexplored. We sought to assess the relationship between social support and ambulatory BP among pregnant individuals at risk for HDP. Participants were 150 pregnant people < 20 weeks' gestation and at-risk for HDP who completed the Prenatal Social Support Instrument - Revised and underwent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring. Linear regression analyses examined associations between social support and BP. Higher satisfaction with overall social support was associated with lower 24-h DBP (B = -0.33, p = 0.001), daytime SBP (B = -0.24, p = 0.02), daytime DBP (B = -0.40, p < 0.001), and nighttime DBP (B = -0.26, p = 0.02). Greater social support may be related to lower antenatal BP in pregnant individuals at risk for HDP. Psychosocial interventions to promote cardiovascular health in pregnancy may be warranted.
