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

introductionSerum platelet-activating factor (PAF) was proven to be associated with gestational hypertension. However, the predictive value of serum PAF at early pregnancy for the occurrence and outcomes of hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy (HDCP) remained unclear.

methodsThe demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were compared among the different subgroups. The serum PAF level was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The predictive value of serum PAF for the occurrence and outcomes of HDCP was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The correlation of serum PAF with blood pressure was assessed using Spearman analysis.

resultsBoth systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly higher in HDCP patients, as well as the serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β at diagnosis/enrollment, while serum levels of IL-10 showed the opposite trend. Serum PAF levels were significantly higher in patients with HDCP compared to normal pregnant women. Furthermore, serum PAF levels were higher in HDCP patients with mild preeclampsia compared to those with gestational hypertension and even more elevated in HDCP patients with severe preeclampsia at the early pregnancy stage and at diagnosis. In HDCP patients, increased serum PAF levels at early pregnancy and at diagnosis were associated with poor outcomes. Additionally, serum PAF levels could predict the occurrence of HDCP and poor outcomes.

conclusionSerum PAF from HDCP patients at both the early pregnancy and diagnosis stages could effectively predict the occurrence and outcome of HDCP.
