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

backgroundHypertensive disorders of pregnancy affect approximately 5-10% of all pregnancies, and this study aims to identify potential diagnostic signatures.

methodsWe downloaded the mRNA profiles of GSE75010 (placenta samples) and GSE48424 (blood samples) datasets with or without hypertension in pregnancy from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differential expression analysis was performed on the placenta samples using limma package of R language. GO terms and KEGG pathways enrichment analyses were performed on the placenta samples by the clusterProfiler package of R language. Infiltrating immune cell proportion of the placenta samples was evaluated using CIBERSORT software. The key genes involved in hypertension in pregnancy were screened from protein-protein interaction (PPI) network constructed based on the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The logistic regression model was constructed by the glm package of R language, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the accuracy of the model.

resultsFor the placenta samples, a total of 104 DEGs were identified, and 39 GO terms and 7 KEGG pathways were significantly enriched based on these 104 genes. Furthermore, the analysis of infiltrating immune cells indicated that the difference in the amount of immune cells might be the potential cause of hypertension in pregnancy. The logistic regression model was constructed based on three optimal genes (LEP, PRL and IGFBP1) screened from PPI network and could efficiently separate patients with hypertension in pregnancy from healthy subjects.

conclusionA predictive model based on three potential genes LEP, PRL and IGFBP1 was obtained, suggesting that these genes might be potential diagnostic signatures for hypertension in pregnancy.
