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

objectiveOur goal was to define mechanisms that protect murine pregnancies deficient in spiral arterial remodeling from hypertension, hypoxia, and intrauterine growth restriction. STUDY

designMicroultrasound analyses were conducted on virgin, gestation day 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and postpartum BALB/c (wild type) mice and BALB/c-Rag2(-/-)/Il2rg(-/-) mice, an immunodeficient strain lacking spiral arterial remodeling.

resultsRag2(-/-)/Il2rg(-/-) dams had normal spiral arterial flow velocities, greatly elevated uterine artery flow velocities between gestational day 10-16 and smaller areas of placental flow from gestational day 14 to term than controls. Maternal heart weight and output increased transiently. Conceptus alterations included higher flow velocities in the umbilical-placental circulation that became normal before term and bradycardia persistent to term.

conclusionTransient changes in maternal heart weight and function accompanied by fetal circulatory changes successfully compensate for deficient spiral arterial modification in mice. Similar compensations may contribute to the elevated risk for cardiovascular diseases seen in women and their children who experience preeclamptic pregnancies.
