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

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are characterized by widespread maternal endothelial dysfunction. Elevated secretion of exosomes has been associated with endothelial dysfunction. Exosomes play a role in cell-cell communication by transferring microRNAs. These microRNAs are associated with the pathogenesis of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy through the regulation of endothelial function. This study characterizes exosomes and determines exosomal miR-155 and miR-222 expression levels in women with gestational hypertension (GH) and preeclampsia (PE). Methods: Exosomes were isolated and thereafter characterised using NTA, microscopy and ELISA. Results: Exosomes were elevated in the serum of pregnant women with GH and PE (P<0.05). The circulating exosomes and placental exosomes were increased in both GH and PE (P<0.0001). The exosomal miR-155 increased in PE but not in GH (P < 0.05). MiR-222 decreased in PE (P < 0.05). Discussion: Elevated exosomes in pregnant women with GH and PE may be indicative of exosomes being potential biomarkers for both GH and PE. The difference in the exosomal miR-155 and miR-222 expression in PE and GH suggested that these two disorders have different pathological pathways.
