Grammar
No Evident vs. No Evidence
Which is the correct grammar (or are they both OK?):
No evident untoward effect of asthma on patient's pregnancy OR
No evidence of untoward effect of asthma on patient's pregnancy...
No evident untoward effect of asthma on patient's pregnancy OR
No evidence of untoward effect of asthma on patient's pregnancy...

Both look OK to me however 'There is' may be a nice way to start the sentences. I do understand that in medical shorthand 'There is' may be ommitted.

"Evident" is an adjective in this case. If you say:
No evident
or
There is no evident
Don't you feel there's something missing? No evident what? In this case you have to complete the phrase:
No evident [damage was observed at first glance.]
There's no evident [reason fo his mischievous behaviour.]
"Evidence" is a noun. "No" is usually use
No evident
or
There is no evident
