The impact of educational video about preeclampsia on pregnant women's knowledge: a quasi-experimental 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
backgroundPreeclampsia is a severe hypertensive condition that may occur during pregnancy, posing significant risks to both the mother and the fetus. Educating pregnant women about this condition is essential for its recognition and the prevention of complications. This study aimed to examine the impact of educational videos about preeclampsia on pregnant women's knowledge.
methodsA quasi-experimental design (one group pre- & post-test) was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational video developed to enhance pregnant women's basic knowledge about preeclampsia. A purposive sample of 100 pregnant women participated by completing a validated 39-item Preeclampsia Knowledge Questionnaire at three time points: prior to the educational intervention, immediately after watching the video in the antenatal clinic, and again two weeks later via WhatsApp.
resultsPre-intervention knowledge scores indicated limited knowledge of pre-eclampsia in pregnant women. Knowledge scores significantly improved immediately after the intervention and at the two-week follow-up compared to pre-intervention levels (p < 0.001). The mean knowledge score increased from 17.40 ± 8.98 prior to the intervention to 33.00 ± 4.35 post-intervention. After two weeks, it decreased slightly to 31.89 ± 4.73.
conclusionsThese findings support the effectiveness of educational videos in enhancing pregnant women's knowledge of preeclampsia and recommend their incorporation of educational videos into routine prenatal care. Further research is required to find out the long-term effects of utilizing educational videos for the early detection of preeclampsia in pregnant women.
