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

During early pregnancy the placenta-derived extravillous trophoblast starts to invade the maternal uterus in order to regulate adequate blood flow and nutrient supply to the growing fetus. A unique set of events including plugging and remodelling of maternal vessels, regulation of oxygen levels, as well as the crosstalk with maternal decidual cells are thought to be precisely controlled by the invading extravillous trophoblasts. However, defects in these processes can lead to severe complications during pregnancy threatening the well-being of both the mother and the developing fetus. For instance incomplete trophoblast-associated invasion and arterial remodelling are associated with preeclampsia, the most common pregnancy-related complication. Moreover, failure in proper placental development and adequate fetal nutrition could be effective later in life, as growth-restricted neonates have a higher risk to develop adult onset of hypertension, heart disease and diabetes mellitus. Consequently, a detailed understanding of the mechanisms that underlie trophoblast invasion is thought to improve both diagnosis and treatment of various pregnancy-related disorders.
