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

problemAngiogenic imbalance during pregnancy is associated with immune activation, hypertension, increased T cell infiltration, and neurological insults. METHOD OF STUDY: On gestational day (GD) 12, timed-pregnant rats were infused with anti-angiogenic factors sFlt-1 and sEndoglin (4.7 and 7 μg/kg) to create HELLP syndrome via mini-osmotic pumps for 8 days, with a subset of these rats having Orencia (2 mg/kg) infused on GD13. On GD19, blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was evaluated via Evan's Blue infusion, blood was collected for T-cell measurements, inflammatory cytokine secretion. Brain tissues were also collected to examine inflammatory cytokine infiltration.

resultsT-cell attenuation with Orencia decreased circulating CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, circulating tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and IL-17, BBB permeability and significantly decreased biochemical evidence of HELLP compared to untreated HELLP rats.

conclusionsThese data support the hypothesis that T cells have a critical role in contributing to the pathophysiology that is seen in angiogenic imbalance during pregnancy.
