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

Dysregulation in component 1q (C1q) levels is associated with weak placental development in preeclampsia (PE). Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV-1) triggers the C1q complex, resulting in opsonization of healthy host cells, contributing to their removal, and augmented progression of HIV disease. In coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-infected patients, the deposition of C1q activates the complement. Considering the paucity of data, this review highlights a significant gap in the potential of C1q in the immunocompromised state of preeclamptic HIV-infected women and COVID-19 infection. In PE, C1q is downregulated; while in antiretroviral treatment-treated HIV/COVID-19 infected patients, C1q is upregulated. It is plausible that C1q is augmented in the triad and may exacerbate severity of disease. This thereby provides a foundation for future intended research which involves the investigation of single nucleotide polymorphism expression of the C1q gene, specifically in these diseases.
