What Is My Risk? A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review of Risk Perception for Cardiometabolic Pregnancy Complications and Future Cardiometabolic Disease Development.

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.
Who cites it
3 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
introductionCardiometabolic pregnancy complications increase future cardiometabolic disease risk. Accurate risk perception plays a central role in adopting risk-reducing lifestyle and health-related behaviors, such as healthy eating, physical activity, and weight management. This review aimed to explore high-risk pregnant and postpartum women's perception of their risk of developing cardiometabolic pregnancy complications or future cardiometabolic disease.
methodsSystematic search identified quantitative and qualitative data exploring risk perception in women (pregnant/postpartum) at risk of or diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), and preterm birth (PTB). A convergent integrated mixed-methods synthesis was undertaken, with findings interpreted using the health belief and capability, opportunity, and motivation for behavior change models.
resultsOverall, 84 studies were included, with the majority in GDM (77.4%) and HDP (23.8%), with limited research in PTB (8.3%) and IUGR (6.0%). Women had low-moderate knowledge of pregnancy complications as risk factors for future cardiometabolic disease and low-moderate perceived susceptibility to potential pregnancy complications and future cardiometabolic disease. Self-perceived barriers, facilitators, cues to action, self-efficacy, and self-optimism impacted engagement with lifestyle and screening measures. The highest risk perception for future type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease was among women who had previously experienced GDM or HDP, respectively.
conclusionDesigning interventions to optimize women's risk perception will support informed decision-making and empower women to make lifestyle changes to reduce future cardiometabolic risk.
