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 affects 2-8% of all pregnancies, and it is associated with significant perinatal mortality and morbidities including preterm birth and small for gestational age. We examined whether plasma fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) concentrations are associated with risk of later preeclampsia development. From March 2015 to May 2016, serum FABP4 was measured in 1486 women in early pregnancy. The relationship between the levels of FABP4 and preeclampsia were evaluated using univariate and multivariate regression analysis. The median plasma concentration of FABP4 at the first prenatal visit was significantly higher in women in whom preeclampsia developed later compared with those in whom it did not (P < 0.001). For each 1 unit increase in FABP4 plasma concentration, the unadjusted and adjusted risk of preeclampsia increased by 8% (odds ratio (OR): 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-1.12) and 4% (1.04; 95% CI: 1.02-1.07), respectively. The addition of FABP4 to established risk factors significantly improved net reclassification improvement. Increased FABP4 at the first prenatal visit of gestation independently predicted preeclampsia and significantly improved reclassification and discrimination. This information is important to guide public health efforts in preeclampsia prevention.
