Expression of urotensin II is associated with placental autophagy in patients with severe preeclampsia.

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.
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 aims of this study are to explore the correlation between the expressions of urotensin II (UII) and autophagic markers (LC3 and P62) in patients with severe preeclampsia (SPE). A total of 64 pregnant subjects were recruited, including 29 healthy pregnancies and 35 preeclamptic patients (7 mild preeclamptic (MPE) patients and 28 SPE patients). UII and autophagic markers expression in placenta specimens was investigated by immunohistochemistry (IHC), RT-qPCR, and western blot. IHC analysis manifested that the expressions of UII and autophagic markers were mainly located in the placental cytotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast. Western blot and IHC analysis both indicated that the expression of UII was significantly correlated with autophagic marker LC3II (by western blot) or LC3 (by IHC) (r = 0.495, P = 0.010; r = 0.816, P = 0.007). Moreover, SPE group had higher expression of UII and LC3II, lower expression of P62 than that of normal controls. The expression of LC3II was positively related with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and urinary protein level (SBP (r = 0.501, P = 0.003) and urine protein quantitation (r = 0.509, P = 0.022)), whereas P62 had negative correlation with SBP. We first verify that UII has positive correlation with autophagic marker LC3 in placentas of preeclampsia patients; besides, autophagic levels are positively correlated with SBP and urine protein in patients with SPE.
