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

In the human placenta, embryo-derived trophoblasts aggressively invade maternal spiral arteries and transform the arteries to low-resistance large-caliber vessels. This process, which ensures adequate placental perfusion, is called maternal vascular remodeling. Histological examination showed deposition of maternal platelets in the trophoblast aggregates formed in the spiral arteries. Several lines of evidence suggest that these platelets are activated. Soluble factors released from the activated platelets, as a whole, enhanced invasive capacity of isolated trophoblasts in vitro. These findings suggest the importance of nonhemostatic platelet function in maternal vascular remodeling. In contrast, gene knockout studies suggest that maternal platelet defects are compatible with successful pregnancy in mice. Moreover, pregnant women with severe platelet defects usually accomplish an uneventful pregnancy. Thus, promotion of endovascular trophoblast infiltration by maternal platelets might not be the only mechanism that regulates maternal vascular remodeling. The maternal vascular remodeling is an essential component of human reproduction and should be secured by several complementary mechanisms. Future studies should aim to elucidate other mechanisms that could regulate endovascular trophoblast infiltration.
