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.
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
Objective: To study the predictive value of placental growth factor (PLGF) combined with uterine ultrasound artery blood flow characteristics in preeclampsia (PE). Methods: The retrospective cohort study included singleton pregnant women who admitted for prenatal examinations at the Yongkang First People's Hospital between February 2021 to November 2023. Based on whether the pregnant women had PE and the severity of PE, they were divided into Control group, Severe PE group and Mild PE group. Levels of PLGF and ultrasound arterial blood flow parameters were compared between the groups, and the sensitivity and specificity of the above indicators were calculated. Results: This study included one hundred pregnant women with PE in the analysis, with 29 in the Severe PE group and 71 in the Mild PE group. Additionally, 100 healthy pregnant women without PE were included in the control group. Levels of PLGF, resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and systolic/diastolic blood flow ratio (S/D) were statistically different between the groups ( Conclusions: PE was significantly associated with decreased levels of PLGF and increased RI, PI, and S/D in pregnant women. These indexes can serve as important indicators for predicting the onset of preeclampsia, especially when they are combined.
