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

Visfatin is both a systemic adipocytokine and the cytosolic enzyme, nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (Nampt). This is a longevity protein, which extends the lifespan of human cells by activating sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). In this study, we sought a role for these proteins in obese pregnant women, who experience more postterm deliveries. Thus, 78 women (26 lean, 24 overweight, and 28 obese) were recruited and maternal blood and placental tissue collected prior to term labor. Plasma levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and quantitative immunohistochemistry used for placenta. We confirmed maternal plasma interleukin 6 increased according to prepregnancy body mass index (BMI; P < .0001) and showed a linear relationship between BMI and syncytiotrophoblast visfatin/Nampt (P = .021) but not with its levels in maternal plasma. Both systemic and placental visfatin/Nampt were significantly associated with placental SIRT1 levels (P = .028 and .017). Thus, higher visfatin/Nampt may prevent a labor-associated decrease in SIRT1 leading to postterm delivery in obesity.
