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

backgroundElevated maternal serum sFLT1 (soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1) has a key role in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. We sought to determine the relationship between the maternal and fetal genome and maternal levels of sFLT1 at 12, 20, 28, and 36 weeks of gestational age (wkGA).

methodsWe studied a prospective cohort of nulliparous women (3968 mother-child pairs). We related maternal and fetal genotype to the adjusted sFLT1

resultsFour variants from the fetal preeclampsia genome-wide association study were positively associated with sFLT1 and sFLT1:PlGF

conclusionsThe current data are consistent with a causal association between sFLT1 released by the placenta in late pregnancy and the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. The data are also consistent with maternal components to the protective effect of high sFLT1 in the first trimester and the rise in third-trimester sFLT1 levels and preeclampsia.
