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 a pregnancy complicated syndrome that affects multiple organs including the brain that continue post- delivery in both mother and the offspring. We evaluated the expression of oligodendrocytes in the brain of PE rat model through development as well as the cognitive changes and other behavioural modifications that may occur later in the life of offspring of PE-like rat model. Pregnant rats divided into early-onset and late-onset groups were administered with N-nitro- L-arginine methyl (L-NAME) through drinking water at gestational days (GD) 8-17. Rats were allowed free access to water throughout the pregnancy. At GD 19, post-natal day (PND) 1 and 60, rats were sacrificed and brain excised for further analysis. The offspring were subjected to behavioural studies for cognitive and sensorimotor impairments before sacrificed at PND 60. Results showed significant down-regulation in the expression of OLIG2 in PE at GD 19 brain which persists till PND 60. Likewise, there was a significant increase in the latency to locate the platform in Morris water maze, time to traverse the balance beam and reduced hanging time on the wire test between the control and the PE treated. PE could lead to impaired neuronal signalling through demyelination which may contributes significantly to long-term sensorimotor and cognitive deficit.
