Lipidomic Signature of Pregnant and Postpartum Females by Longitudinal and Transversal Evaluation: Putative Biomarkers Determined by UHPLC-QTOF-ESI
Article in Metabolites, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPregnancy induces significant physiological and metabolic changes in the mother to support fetal growth and prepare for childbirth. These adaptations impact various systems, including immune tolerance, metabolism, and endocrine function. While metabolomics has been utilized to study pregnancy-related metabolic changes, comprehensive comparisons between pregnant and non-pregnant states, particularly using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS), remain limited.
methodsThis study aimed to explore the dynamic, longitudinal metabolic shifts during pregnancy by profiling plasma samples from 65 pregnant women across three time points (6-14 weeks, 14-22 weeks, and >24 weeks) and 42 postpartum women. Lipidomics was prioritized, and a solvent mixture was employed to enhance lipid extraction, using UHPLC-QTOF-ESI
resultsA total of 290 metabolites were identified and analyzed. Our results revealed significant metabolic differences between pregnant and postpartum women, with lipid molecules such as estrogen derivatives, fatty acids, and ceramides showing strong potential as biomarkers. Further biomarker analysis highlighted distinct metabolic signatures between early and late pregnancy stages, particularly in lipid metabolism (with AUC values > 0.8).
conclusionsThese findings contribute to a deeper understanding of pregnancy-related metabolic changes and may offer insights into maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
