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
This multicenter prospective study investigated seasonal variation in home blood pressure (HBP) during pregnancy and its association with the frequency of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and developed trimester-specific upper limits of HBP according to season. Low-risk women with singleton pregnancies were recruited at six university hospitals and three maternity clinics. HBP was measured by a sphygmomanometer twice daily and recorded online using a mobile application. HBP was evaluated according to season (winter, spring, summer, and autumn) and gestational age. Of 705 women recruited, 603 were finally included. Mean diastolic HBP values were lowest in summer and highest in winter throughout pregnancy (mean difference between summer and winter, 3.5-4.6 mmHg). Mean systolic HBP values were also lowest in summer and highest in winter except during the early period of the second trimester (mean difference between summer and the season with the highest value, 2.5-3.4 mmHg). HDP was diagnosed in 32 women (5.3%). The risk of HDP was significantly higher in women who delivered in spring and autumn but not in winter compared with summer. The rounded upper limit of HBP was 120/80 mmHg in the first trimester, 120/75 mmHg in the second trimester, and 125/80 mmHg in the third trimester for summer and 125/85 mmHg, 125/80 mmHg, and 130/85 mmHg, respectively, for other seasons. Systolic and diastolic HBP were lowest in summer throughout pregnancy. Seasonal variation should be considered when interpreting HBP and the risk of HDP during pregnancy.
