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

objectiveTo explore the role of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1)-mediated Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) pathway in reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) model of preeclampsia (PE) in rats.

methodsThe pregnant rats were divided into sham, RUPP, RUPP + rSIRT1 (recombinant SIRT1 protein), RUPP + rSHH (recombinant SHH protein), and RUPP + rSIRT1+ Cy (cyclopamine, an SHH pathway inhibitor) groups, followed by the determination of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pregnancy outcome. The gene or protein expression was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), or Western blotting.

resultsRUPP rats showed increases MAP with the lower levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nitrite and nitrate (NOx), as well as the higher levels of soluble FMS-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interleukin (IL)-6 in maternal plasma, which was attenuated after rSIRT1 or rSHH treatment. Besides, the improvement in the pregnancy outcome was seen in the rats from the RUPP + rSIRT1/rSHH groups as compared with the RUPP group. However, the therapeutic effect of rSIRT1 was reversed by cyclopamine. Placenta tissues of RUPP rats manifested the down-regulations of SIRT1, Patched-1 (PTCH1), and GLI family zinc finger 2 (GLI2), which were up-regulated in the RUPP + rSIRT1 group.

conclusionSIRT1 was down-regulated while SHH pathway was inhibited in the placental tissue of PE rats. SIRT1 improved the blood pressure, angiogenic imbalance, inflammation, and pregnancy outcome in PE rats via SHH pathway, supporting its potential use for the treatment of PE.
