Women's experiences with the self-management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: a descriptive phenomenological study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2026. 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
backgroundHypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) is a significant contributing factor to maternal morbidity and mortality. Self-management plays a crucial role in women with HDP to delay disease progression and improve delivery outcomes. However, the lived experiences of self-management among women with HDP during pregnancy remain poorly understood. Therefore, the perspectives and experiences of managing HDP in women require special attention and exploration.
methodsThe qualitative study with a descriptive phenomenological design was conducted. Purposive sampling was used, and face-to-face interviews were conducted with 19 women who had experienced HDP self-management. Data were analyzed following the 7 steps of Colaizzi. MAXQDA software (version 2020) was used for data management.
resultsFour themes were identified: (1) the beginning of transformation, (2) the thorny path, (3) striving to overcome, and (4) external forces. The participants were found to be at different stages of HDP management and undergoing a process of adaptation.
conclusionThis study revealed that women go through a process of adjustment following a diagnosis of HDP as they learn to self-manage. This process is influenced not only by their personal efforts but also by the external environment and support systems.
