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

backgroundThis study aimed to clarify the change of the expression of placenta-specific 1 (PLAC1) in the placenta of preeclamptic women and to explore the regulatory effects on thophoblast by PLAC1.

methodsNineteen women with preeclampsia and 19 with normal pregnancies were recruited, and then we determined the expression of PLAC1 by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blotting. To observe the effect of hypoxia on the expression of PLAC1, trophoblasts were cultured at the normoxia or hypoxia condition. Small interference of ribonucleic acid (siRNA) was used to silence PLAC1. The proliferation, migration and invasion of trophoblasts were evaluated with cell counting kit-8 and transwell analysis, and the apoptosis of trophoblast was evaluated by flow cytometry with FITC and PI staining.

resultsPlacental PLAC1 expression was significantly decreased in severe preeclampsia compared with control (P < .001). The expression of PLAC1 in trophoblasts was significantly decreased after treated with low oxygen concentration (P = .018). PLAC1 siRNA significantly inhibited the proliferation (P < .001), the migration (P < .001) and invasion (P < .001) of trophoblasts, but increased the apoptosis (P = .004 for Swan-71; P = .031 for Jar).

conclusionsThe expression of PLAC1 was declined in preeclampsia and this inhibited the function of trophoblast, suggesting PLAC1 may play a role in the development of preeclampsia.
