Altered level of salivary placental growth factor is associated with preeclampsia.
Article in Placenta, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
A pilot, case-control study was conducted to compare the concentrations of placental growth factor (PlGF) and placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) in saliva of preeclampsia (PE) patients with normotensive controls in the second and third trimesters. Measured by ELISA assays, levels of salivary PlGF were significantly lower in PE patients (n = 13) compared to controls (n = 15) (two-way ANOVA, p = 0.0208) independent of gestational age at time of collection (p = 0.49). Salivary PLAP differences between PE and controls were not statistically significant. Placenta-specific proteins are detectable in maternal saliva and may serve as noninvasive biomarkers to monitor placenta health and disease during pregnancy.
