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 is a systemic vascular disease characterized by new-onset hypertension and/or proteinuria at ≥20 weeks of gestation and leads to high rates of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Despite the incomplete understanding of pre-eclampsia pathophysiology, it is accepted that insufficient spiral artery remodeling and endothelial dysfunction are major contributors. Laminins (LNs) are a vital family of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules present in basement membranes that provide unique spatial and molecular information to regulate implantation and placentation. LNs interact with cell surface receptors to trigger intracellular signals that affect cellular behavior. This mini-review summarizes the role of LNs in placental development during normal pregnancy. Moreover, it describes how LN deficiency can lead to the pre-eclampsia, which is associated with trophoblast and vascular endothelial dysfunction. New research directions and the prospect of clinical diagnosis of LN deficiency are discussed, and the gaps in basic and clinical research in this field are highlighted.
