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

Pre-eclampsia, placental abruption, and fetal growth restriction (FGR) are collectively referred to as placental ischemic disease (PID). Heat shock proteins (HSPs), originally considered as a response to the heat shock, have a central role in regulating the cellular functions by quality controlling the newly synthesized proteins. The aim of the present review is to investigate the expression of the HSPs in PID and their potential role as biomarkers, based on the available data in the literature. A considerable amount of research has been conducted in order to determine the significance of HSPs in placental pathology and insufficiency, using both immunochemistry and circulating mRNA approaches. HSPs seem to be promising biomarkers that could be used for screening and monitoring the cellular stress of the placenta and its dysfunction. Yet, in order to be able to reach more solid evidence and draw a safer conclusion regarding their utility in clinical practice there is still a long way to go and further well-designed greater scale studies are required.
