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

This review presents an update of the role of the renin-angiotensin system in normal pregnancy and pre-eclampsia. We have known for years that the circulatory renin-angiotensin system in pre-eclampsia is suppressed. We now know that the circulating renin-angiotensin system does not only have a vasoconstrictor arm, but also a vasodilator arm, which is upregulated in normal pregnancy; this balance is probably disturbed in pre-eclampsia. Recent studies show the importance of the local renin-angiotensin system in the uteroplacental unit for early placentation and regulation of placental blood flow. We discuss the possible role of autoantibodies against the AT1-receptor in pre-eclampsia and the suggestion that activation of the AT1-receptor in the placenta may lead to placental dysfunction and the clinical syndrome of pre-eclampsia.
