The effect of blood pressure measurement in different postures on blood pressure values and anxiety levels in 3rd trimester pregnant women with preeclampsia.
Review in Journal of human hypertension, 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
This study examines the impact of blood pressure measurement in different postures on diastolic and systolic blood pressure values, as well as anxiety levels, in pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia. The study was conducted between March and June 2024 as a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study with 96 pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia who were hospitalized in the perinatology unit of a training and research hospital. Data were collected using a descriptive information form and the State Anxiety Scale. Among the participants in the study, a statistically significant difference was found between systolic blood pressure measured in the fully seated posture and that measured in the left and right lateral postures (p < 0.001). Regarding diastolic blood pressure, a significant difference was observed among the values measured in the left lateral, right lateral, and semi-Fowler postures (p < 0.001). The left and right lateral postures were found to have a lowering effect on systolic blood pressure. Additionally, a statistically significant difference was detected in the State Anxiety Scale scores of participants before and after blood pressure measurement in the left lateral posture (p < 0.05). In pregnant women with preeclampsia, the left and right lateral postures were found to lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to the sitting posture. Additionally, the left lateral posture was effective in reducing anxiety levels. Therefore, conducting blood pressure measurements in the left lateral posture in clinical practice may yield more optimal results for pregnant women with preeclampsia.
