Effect of magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol on serum sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in patients with early-onset severe pre-eclampsia.

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
The aim of the present study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol on the early-onset severe pre-eclampsia (ES-PE) and explore the role of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlT-1), placental growth factor (PlGF), and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio in the treatment. A total of 164 ES-PE patients admitted to the Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital of Hubei (Wuhan, China) were assigned to this observational study. Among them, 83 patients were enrolled in group A and treated with magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol hydrochloride, and 81 patients were enrolled in group B and treated with magnesium sulfate. The therapeutic effect, adverse reactions and pregnancy outcomes in the two groups were analyzed. Serum sFlt-1 and PlGF concentrations, before and after treatment, were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the predictive value of pre-treatment serum sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for the clinical outcome. The effective rate was significantly higher in group A than that in group B. Group A presented superior pregnancy outcomes over group B. The serum sFlt-1 concentration and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment in groups A and B, whereas PlGF concentration was significantly higher after treatment in both groups. After treatment, group A had markedly lower serum sFlt-1 concentration and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio than group B, and markedly higher PlGF concentration than group B. The area under curve (AUC) of serum sFlt-1/PlGF ratio before treatment for the prediction of the clinical efficacy was 0.737. In conclusion, magnesium sulfate combined with labetalol could be effectively used for the treatment of ES-PE. The results of ELISA revealed that the balance of sFlT-1 and PlGF was improved after treatment and the sFlT-1/PlGF ratio was decreased. The assessment of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio before treatment was shown to have a certain predictive value for the efficacy of ES-PE treatment.
