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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesPreeclampsia is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, and increased shedding of podocytes into the urine is a common finding. This finding raises the question of whether preeclamptic nephropathy involves podocyte damage. This study examined podocyte-related changes in a unique sample of renal tissues obtained from women who died of preeclampsia. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: All patients with preeclampsia who died in The Netherlands since 1990 and had available autopsy tissue were identified using a nationwide database of the Dutch Pathology Registry (PALGA). This resulted in a cohort of 11 women who died from preeclampsia. Three control groups were also identified during the same time period, and consisted of normotensive women who died during pregnancy (n=25), and nonpregnant controls either with (n=14) or without (n=13) chronic hypertension. Glomerular lesions, including podocyte numbers, podocyte proliferation, and parietal cell activation, were measured.

resultsPatients with preeclampsia had prominent characteristic glomerular lesions. The results showed that the number of podocytes per glomerulus did not differ significantly between the patients with preeclampsia and the control groups. However, preeclampsia was associated with a significant increase in intraglomerular cell proliferation (7.3% [SD 9.4] of the glomeruli of patients with preeclampsia had Ki-67-positive cells versus 1.6% [SD 3.3] of the glomeruli of hypertensive controls and 1.1% [SD 1.3] of nonpregnant controls; P=0.004) and activated parietal epithelial cells on a podocyte location (34% [SD 13.1] of the glomeruli of patients with preeclampsia versus 18.0% [SD 15.3] of pregnant controls, 11.9% [SD 13.2] of hypertensive controls, and 10.8% [SD 13.4] of nonpregnant controls; P=0.01).

conclusionsThese findings suggest that the recently described mechanisms of podocyte replacement play a role in preeclampsia. These results provide key new insights into the pathogenesis of preeclamptic nephropathy, and they open new possibilities for developing therapeutic modalities.
