Maternal knowledge about long-term consequences of pregnancy complications - a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. 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
purposePregnancy complications such as preeclampsia, obesity, and gestational diabetes mellitus are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) later in life. This study aimed to evaluate mothers' knowledge about these complications, their potential long-term consequences, and the education they received regarding cardiovascular risks.
methodsThis cross-sectional study involved mothers who gave birth at a tertiary academic hospital. Participants completed an online questionnaire, and frequencies of demographic data, pregnancy-related information, and knowledge about long-term risks were calculated. Knowledge was categorized using Bloom's cut-off based on responses to 25 questions regarding CVD risk factors, and associations between Bloom's knowledge categories and various independent categorical variables were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-squared test, with a significance level set at p < 0.05.
resultsFrom May to August 2024, 774 women were contacted, with 144 responses included in the analysis. The mean age of participants was 36 ± 4.9 years. Over half reported moderate knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors. Notably, 73% were unaware of the increased risk of CVD following pregnancy complications, 72% lacked knowledge of potential long-term adverse outcomes, and 73% did not receive educational interventions regarding long-term risks upon hospital discharge.
conclusionThe study identified a significant gap in women's understanding of the increased CVD risks associated with pregnancy complications. Furthermore, the educational interventions provided at discharge were either lacking, insufficiently detailed, or not memorable enough for mothers to retain essential information.
