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
aimThis study aimed to determine the level of knowledge and self-care behaviors related to hypertensive disorders in pregnant women in Tunja, Colombia, and to analyze the association of these variables with sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted during the first half of 2025 with 114 pregnant women enrolled in a prenatal care program. The Knowledge and Self-Care Behaviors Regarding Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy "CoNOCiTHE" questionnaire was administered. Descriptive statistics were followed by advanced multivariate analyses. Principal component analysis, multiple correspondence analysis, and K-means clustering were applied to characterize variability patterns, categorical associations, and maternal profiles.
resultsThe mean knowledge and self-care score was 71.49 points, with 36.84% of participants at a low level, 29.82% at a medium level, and 33.33% at a high level. Principal component analysis revealed a strong correlation between gestational age and the number of prenatal visits (r = .814), and moderate correlations between maternal age and obstetric history, while knowledge and self-care scores were independent of these variables. K-means clustering explained 52.2% of the variance and identified two distinct groups: one composed of older women with greater obstetric experience (11.92%), and another of younger women (40.34%). Multiple correspondence analysis indicated that a low level of knowledge and self-care was related to younger age, lower educational level, and lower socioeconomic status.
conclusionA significant proportion of pregnant women showed low levels of knowledge and self-care regarding hypertensive disorders, especially among young women with low education and unfavorable socio-economic conditions. The frequency of prenatal visits was related to gestational age, but had little association with knowledge and self-care. Nursing professionals play a key role in implementing educational strategies that promote self-care and contribute to improved maternal and perinatal outcomes.
