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

introductionPlacental FasL is up-regulated in women with HELLP (hemolysis elevated liver enzyme and low platelet) syndrome and has been proposed to contribute to the liver damage seen in these patients.

objectiveThis study aimed to determine if an experimental rodent model of HELLP also had dysregulation of Fas/FasL compared to normal pregnant (NP) rats. We also set out to determine if blockade of the endothelin system regulated Fas/FasL expression in HELLP rats. STUDY

designOn gestational day (GD) 12, sEng (7ug/kg) and sFlt-1 (4.7ug/kg) infusion began via mini-osmotic pump into NP rats. On GD19 plasma and tissue were collected and FasL and Fas were measured via enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and gene expression via real-time PCR.

resultsHELLP rats had significantly more circulating and placental FasL compared to NP rats, whereas hepatic FasL was decreased and placental Fas was increased compared to NP rats. Administration of an endothelin A receptor antagonist (ET

conclusionThese data suggest that rats in this experimental model of HELLP syndrome have abnormal expression of the Fas/FasL system. Future studies will examine the sources of Fas/FasL dysregulation in this model and if blockade could reduce some of the inflammation and hypertension associated with HELLP syndrome.
