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

Pre-eclampsia is a multifactorial pregnancy-associated disorder characterized by angiogenic dysbalance and systemic inflammation; however, animal models that combine these two pathophysiological conditions are missing. Here, we introduce a novel double-hit pre-eclampsia mouse model that mimics the complex multifactorial conditions present during pre-eclampsia and allows for the investigation of early consequences for the fetus. Adenoviral overexpression of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration at mid-gestation in pregnant mice resulted in hypertension and albuminuria comparable to that of the manifestation in humans. A metabolomics analysis revealed that pre-eclamptic dams have increased plasma concentrations of phosphadytilcholines. The fetuses of both sexes were growth restricted; however, in males a brain-sparing effect was seen as compensation for this growth restriction. According to the plasma metabolomics, male fetuses showed changes in amino acid metabolism, while female fetuses showed pronounced alterations in lipid metabolism. Our results show that combined exposure to sFlt-1 and LPS mimics the clinical symptoms of pre-eclampsia and affects fetal growth in a sex-specific manner, with accompanying metabolome changes.
