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: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are established risk factors for future cardiovascular disease, yet long-term cardiovascular risk across specific HDP subtypes remains incompletely defined. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using a large, global electronic health record network to evaluate five-year cardiovascular outcomes among women with gestational hypertension, chronic hypertension, preeclampsia/eclampsia, and superimposed preeclampsia compared with normotensive pregnancies. Propensity score matching was performed to balance baseline demographic and cardiometabolic risk factors. Outcomes included heart failure, ischemic heart disease, stroke, pulmonary embolism, atrial fibrillation or flutter, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Results: After propensity score matching, 109,945 women with gestational hypertension, 36,560 with chronic hypertension, 94,198 with superimposed preeclampsia, and 80,848 with preeclampsia/eclampsia were each matched 1:1 with normotensive controls. Superimposed preeclampsia was associated with the largest observed odds of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including heart failure (OR 3.80, 95% CI 3.46-4.16), stroke (OR 3.66, 95% CI 3.35-4.00), ischemic heart disease (OR 3.08, 95% CI 2.83-3.36), and MACE (OR 3.29, 95% CI 3.11-3.47). Chronic hypertension and preeclampsia/eclampsia demonstrated comparatively elevated risk, with chronic hypertension associated with increased odds of heart failure (OR 2.88, 95% CI 2.43-3.43) and MACE (OR 2.24, 95% CI 2.01-2.49), and preeclampsia/eclampsia associated with higher odds of heart failure (OR 3.10, 95% CI 2.62-3.65) and stroke (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.99-2.63). Gestational hypertension was associated with increased odds of heart failure (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.14-1.60) but not with most other cardiovascular outcomes. Conclusions: Long-term cardiovascular risk following HDP varies by subtype, with all major subtypes demonstrating increased risk compared with normotensive pregnancies and larger effect estimates observed among women with superimposed preeclampsia. These findings support consideration of hypertensive disorder subtype in postpartum cardiovascular risk assessment.
