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 (PE) is an obstetric complication associated with elevated levels of fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) and dysregulated trophoblast differentiation. However, limited information exists on the expression and regulation of placental drug transporters in PE. Transporter mRNA and protein expression were analyzed in human placentas diagnosed with PE (n = 34) and gestational age-matched controls (n = 24), whereas placental BeWo cells were treated with angiogenic factors in vitro. Significant downregulation of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and several other transporters were seen in placentas complicated by PE compared with controls, whereas mRNA levels of sFlt-1 were induced by 2.5-fold in PE placentas (P < 0.01). Treatment of BeWo cells with sFlt-1 resulted in an 85-90% downregulation of BCRP, which was attenuated by vascular endothelial growth factor. Our findings suggest that placental function is compromised during PE due to altered expression of clinically important transporters. Furthermore, our in vitro results show that sFlt-1 is involved in the regulation of BCRP.
