Maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated with pulmonary hypertension: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundTo evaluate the maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnancy complicated with pulmonary hypertension.
methodsWe reviewed and analyzed the clinical data of 70 pregnant women with PH admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2012 to December 2022. The data extracted included general characteristics, laboratory findings, imaging manifestations, and maternal and perinatal outcomes. PH was diagnosed via echocardiography, and patients were categorized into mild and moderate-to-severe PH groups on the basis of pulmonary artery systolic pressure (sPAP). Cardiac function was graded according to the World Health Organization Functional Class (WHO-FC).
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 29.83 ± 5.81 years. A total of 55.71% were primigravida, and 44.29% were multigravida. The majority of patients (65.71%) had regular obstetric examinations during pregnancy. There were statistically significant differences in BNP levels, right ventricular diastolic diameter (RVDD), and WHO-FC between the mild and moderate-to-severe PH groups. The majority of patients (87.50% vs. 86.67%) underwent cesarean section, with regional anesthesia used in 70.00% of the patients. The maternal mortality rate was 5.71% (4/70) in women with severe PH. The median gestational age at delivery was 36.57 weeks for mild PH group and 33.93 weeks for moderate-to-severe PH group, respectively. Fetal birth weight was significantly lower in the moderate-to-severe PH group. A greater proportion of infants in the moderate-to-severe PH group were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and had low birth weights (LBWs).
conclusionsPregnancy complicated with PH poses a significant risk to both maternal and neonatal health, with poorer outcomes associated with moderate-to-severe PH. Multidisciplinary management, early detection, and timely intervention are crucial for improving outcomes. This study underscores the importance of individualized care plans and the need for further research to refine the predictive factors for the prognosis of PH-complicated pregnancies.
