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

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of endopeptidases that degrade the components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) such as collagen, and thus contribute to the remodelling and the physiological homeostasis of the ECM and its blood supply. The activities of these enzymes are regulated by endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), and it has been suggested that a balance between MMPs and TIMPs plays an important role in vascular remodelling, angiogenesis and vasodilatation in a number of physiological situations. It follows that, regarding a relationship between MMPs and TIMPs, an imbalance between these molecules may lead to pathology in a wide range of conditions, including hypertension, cancer and pulmonary disease, and in the pathophysiology of reproduction. Indeed, regarding the latter, abnormalities in the maternal peripheral vasculature have been proposed as being (partly) responsible for the effects of hypertension on pregnancy and the development of complications including pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. However, the associations between MMPs, TIMPs and disease may be simply of association, not of pathology. This brief review explores current literature on the role of abnormalities of the ECM in general, focusing on the pathogenesis of hypertension and its complications during pregnancy as a model of disordered angiogenesis and remodelling.
