Cardiac dysfunction during adverse maternal outcomes in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

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
introductionHypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with significant cardiac remodeling and diastolic dysfunction during pregnancy and are important contributors to maternal morbidity and mortality. Whether acute adverse maternal outcomes during hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are associated with abnormal left ventricular geometry and function has not been widely studied. MATERIAL AND
methodsA prospective observational study was conducted on 255 women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy who underwent transthoracic echocardiography during the peripartum period. Maternal echocardiographic parameters, including left ventricular morphology and function, were analyzed to determine their association with composite adverse maternal outcomes by univariate and multivariate analyses. The composite adverse maternal outcome was defined as at least one of the following: admission to a high dependency unit (an intermediate-care ward, providing enhanced cardiac monitoring), acute renal injury, adverse cardiopulmonary events, stroke, and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
resultsAdverse maternal outcomes occurred in 68 (26.7%) participants. Women with adverse outcomes had significantly higher left atrial volume index (28.8 [23.4-32.3] mL/m
conclusionsCardiac abnormalities, particularly in left ventricular diastolic function and in right ventricular function, are more common in women with adverse maternal outcomes in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy than in hypertensive women without adverse maternal outcomes. Further studies are needed to determine whether these echocardiographic abnormalities could help identify women at increased risk of complications.
