Review in Current hypertension reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purpose of reviewRegardless of the familial linkage reported in pre-eclampsia development, understanding the polymorphic genes associated with pre-eclampsia remains limited. Hence, this review aims to outline the main genetic factors that have been investigated in respect to pre-eclampsia development. RECENT

findingsIt is apparent that different genes show significance in varying populations. Notably, it is reported that apolipoprotein-1 gene polymorphisms are associated with pre-eclampsia development in an African-American population, which may be worthwhile to investigate in a Black South African cohort. Despite the research attention that is focused on this surreptitious syndrome, a definitive cause eludes scientists and physicians, alike. Genetic studies can fulfil a dual purpose of suggesting novel hypotheses through genome-wide screening and testing these hypotheses via candidate gene studies. However, publications to date have only presented inconsistent and conflicting results regarding candidate gene analysis.
