1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Medical complications of pregnancy provide a window into a woman's future health risk. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) affect 1 in 10 pregnant women and elevate the risk for women of experiencing long-term health complications within 5 years of the affected pregnancy, continuing lifelong. These risks include a doubled to tripled risk of developing cardiovascular disease, a doubled risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and a 5- to 10-fold risk of developing chronic kidney disease. Early assessment and intervention following HDP are therefore crucial to improving women's life-course health trajectory, as well as outcomes for any subsequent pregnancies. However, previous research has shown that Australian women and their primary health care providers are largely unaware of ongoing health risks and the necessary follow-up screening and assessments. Primary care providers also receive inadequate hospital-to-community handover and support to promote preventive health measures to women following pregnancy complications. Consequently, post-HDP care remains insufficient for optimizing long-term health. Objective: This study aims to (1) explore whether a post-HDP education and follow-up service package can be designed, developed, and implemented among targeted general practitioners (GPs) and maternity hospitals across Sydney, Australia, and (2) evaluate whether the post-HDP education and follow-up package can address knowledge gaps among health care providers regarding the long-term health risks after HDP and build capacity among GPs to implement evidence-based care. Methods: This pilot study will design, develop, and implement a post-HDP education and follow-up package ("the package") adopting a collaborative and implementation methodological approach. The package, designed by expert health care providers and informed by prior evidence-based research, will include educational materials, improved hospital-to-community handover, and a funded 6-month postpartum visit. Results: Data collection occurred over an 18-month implementation and follow-up period between April 2024 and October 2025. Sixteen GPs across the Central and Eastern Primary Health Network (CESPHN) were recruited, along with their antenatal shared care (ANSC) affiliated tertiary referral hospitals in Sydney. Postimplementation data collection and analysis is planned for completion throughout 2026. Conclusions: Mixed methods evaluation will assess the efficacy, acceptability, and utility of the post-HDP package among health care providers and inform its suitability for deployment at scale.
