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

backgroundThe complement system is a key component of the innate immune system that plays a vital role in host defense, maintains homeostasis and acts as a mediator of the adaptive immune response. The complement system could possibly play a role in the pathogenesis of HIV infection and preeclampsia (PE), both of which represent major causes of maternal death in South Africa. RECENT

findingsThe relationship between PE and HIV infection is unclear as PE represents an exaggerated immune response, while HIV infection is associated with a decline in immune activity. Although the complement system works to clear and neutralize HIV, it could also enhance the infectivity of HIV by various other mechanisms. It has been suggested that the dysregulation of the complement system is associated with the development of PE.

conclusionThere is currently a paucity of information on the combined effect of the complement system in HIV-associated PE. This review highlights the role of the complement system in the duality of HIV infection and PE and provides new insights into this relationship whilst also elucidating potential therapeutic targets.
