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

Preeclampsia is a systemic vascular disorder characterized by new-onset hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. This condition targets several organs, including the kidneys, liver and brain, and is the leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, recent evidence has revealed preeclampsia as a significant risk factor for future cardiovascular diseases in these women. Over the past decade, increasing evidence has indicated that maternal angiogenic imbalances caused by placental antiangiogenic factors play a central role in the systemic vascular dysfunction underling preeclampsia. The severity of the maternal antiangiogenic state correlates closely with maternal and perinatal outcomes. Assessing angiogenic imbalance and several vascular function tests have also emerged as a way of detecting systemic vascular dysfunction during pregnancy. This review summarizes the current understanding of the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, its clinical applications and clinical evidence for future cardiovascular risks.
