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

This retrospective study evaluated diagnostic and prognostic values of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio combined with serum endocan-1 for preeclampsia (PE). This study included 105 patients with PE admitted at Xiamen University Affiliated Xiang'an Hospital from January 2020 to September 2023, with 90 healthy pregnant women receiving routine check-ups during the same period as controls. sFlt-1, PlGF, and endocan-1 levels were measured, and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was calculated. The correlation of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio with serum endocan-1 levels was analysed, and influencing factors for poor prognosis of PE patients were screened. Diagnostic and prognostic values of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio combined with serum endocan-1 were assessed. Results showed an increase in sFlt-1/PlGF ratio and serum endocan-1 levels in PE patients and a positive correlation between them. For assisting in the diagnosis of PE, the AUC of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio combined with serum endocan-1 was 0.874 (95%CI: 0.819 - 0.917; sensitivity, 75.24%; specificity, 100.00%), which was superior over that of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio (P = 0.025) and endocan-1 (P = 0.047) alone. Elevated sFlt-1/PlGF ratio and serum endocan-1 levels were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of PE patients. For assisting in predicting poor prognosis of PE, the AUC of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio with serum endocan-1 was 0.955 (95%CI: 0.896 - 0.986; sensitivity, 82.61%; specificity, 100.00%), which was higher than that of sFlt-1/PlGF ratio (P = 0.023) or serum endocan-1 (P = 0.010) alone. Altogether, sFlt-1/PlGF ratio combined with serum endocan-1 is advantageous over sFlt-1/PlGF ratio and serum endocan-1 alone for predicting PE occurrence and prognosis.
