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

Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific syndrome that has severe implications on perinatal mortality and morbidity. Excessive apoptosis of trophoblasts induced by hypoxia may be associated with the development of PE, but the exact pathogenesis is unknown. Forkhead box O transcription factor 3a (FOXO3a) is activated under hypoxic conditions. Furthermore, hypoxia‑inducible factor‑1α (HIF‑1α) is sensitive to variations in partial oxygen pressure. Thus, the aims of the present study were to investigate the expression levels of HIF‑1α and FOXO3a in placental samples of early onset severe PE, and their effect on trophoblastic apoptosis under hypoxic conditions. Cobalt chloride was used to establish the hypoxic model. The present study examined the expression levels of HIF‑1α and FOXO3a in the placental tissues and HTR8/SVneo cells under hypoxic conditions. It was found that HIF‑1α and FOXO3a were highly expressed in placental tissues of patients with PE and in HTR8/SVneo cells under hypoxic conditions. Furthermore, knockdown of FOXO3a using a specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) decreased apoptosis in HTR8/SVneo cells. Moreover, it was found that after knockdown of HIF‑1α using siRNA, FOXO3a expression and the apoptotic rate were reduced in HTR8/SVneo cells. Therefore, the present results indicated that the elevated expression of HIF‑1α increased trophoblastic apoptosis by regulating FOXO3a, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of PE.
