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 cause fetal growth restriction and increased maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in women of African ancestry. Recently, preeclampsia risk was associated with polymorphisms in the apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene in women of African ancestry.

objectivesWe assessed APOL1 genotype effects on pregnancies with and without preeclampsia.

methodWe conducted an unmatched case-control study of 1,358 mother-infant pairs from two independent cohorts of black women.

resultsTerm preeclampsia cases with high-risk APOL1 genotypes were more likely to be small for gestational age compared to APOL1 low-risk term cases (odds ratio [OR] 2.8) and APOL1 high-risk controls (OR 5.5). Among preterm pregnancies, fetal APOL1 genotype was associated with preeclampsia.

conclusionsFetal APOL1 genotype was associated with preeclampsia in preterm infants and with altered fetal growth in term infants. This may indicate APOL1 genotype impacts a spectrum of pregnancy complications mediated by a common pathophysiological event of placental insufficiency.
