What side products might be formed from the aldol


In the Aldol Condensation of p-nitrobenzaldehyde to form trans-4-nitrochalcone, the yield of the reaction is not quanititavtive.  What side products might be formed from the aldol condensation?  And if benzaldehyde rather than p-nitrobenzaldehyde is used, why is the yield extremely low, if there is one at all?
