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

The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum NF-κBp65, TLR4 (Toll-like receptor 4) expression in patients of preeclampsia and its diagnostic value as biomarkers.

methodsThirty patients with preeclampsia (case group) and 30 normal pregnant women (control group) were included in this study. The serum level of NF-κBp65 and TLR4 were examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and compared between the two groups. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were calculated by STATA11.0 statistical software.

resultsThe expression level of TLR4 and NF-κBp65 in serum of preeclampsia patient group was 3.76±1.07ng/ ml and 183.20±49.19ng/ml, whereas that in the serum of the normal pregnant group was 2.43±0.69ng/ml and 98.68±29.80ng/ml. The expression of TLR4 and NF-κBp65 in serum of preeclampsia patient group was significantly higher than that of the normal pregnant group (P<0.05); The Pearson correlation test showed that the TLR4 expression in the serum of preeclampsia patients and normal pregnant women was positively correlated with their NF-κBp65 expression [r

conclusionSerum levels of TLR4 and NF-κBp65 was significantly higher in patients with preeclampsia which may involve in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, and can be used as biomarker for predicting preeclampsia.
