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

objectiveTo detect the levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) and soluble endoglin (sEng) in preeclampsia patients and analyze the diagnostic values of STAT4 and sEng in preeclampsia.

methodsFifty-four pregnant women with preeclampsia from October 2017 to June 2018 were included in this study. Twenty-eight matched healthy pregnant women were set as the control group. The general clinical characteristics were measured. Serum STAT4 and sEng were detected by ELISA. Correlation between STAT4 and sEng, and their diagnostic value in preeclampsia were analyzed.

resultsCompared with control, the prothrombin time in preeclampsia was significantly lower, while the mean arterial pressure, 24-hour urine protein, serum creatinine, fibrinogen, and ALT were significantly higher. The circulating levels of STAT4 and sEng were significantly increased in the preeclampsia. The serum levels of STAT4 and sEng in preeclampsia were positively correlated. For the diagnosis of preeclampsia by the serum STAT4, AUC is 0.902, and the sensitivity and specificity are 0.893 and 0.929. By the serum sEng, AUC is 0.873, and the sensitivity and specificity are 0.816 and 0.905.

conclusionThe serum levels of STAT4 and sEng were significantly increased in preeclampsia with disease severity status, which have promise as diagnostic markers in preeclampsia.
