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

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a syndrome exclusive to pregnancy, presenting substantial risks to maternal and fetal health. Systemic immune-inflammatory response is a prominent feature of PE. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 749 pregnant women in Guangzhou, China from September 2018 to September 2024. Three hundred and seventy participants were diagnosed with PE, 166 of which had adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). Immuno-inflammatory markers expressed in peripheral blood were evaluated during the second-trimester. APOs included postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), premature rupture of membranes (PROM), placental abruption, fetal growth restriction, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) transfer, and fetal distress. The relationship between immune-inflammatory markers and PE and APOs was analyzed. Results: Women with PE were at higher risk of APOs and had higher levels of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic immunoinflammatory index (SII) and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI). The AUC values for NLR, SII, and SIRI with PE were 0.594, 0.649, and 0.646 (P < 0.001), with cut-off values of 4.389, 994.863, and 2.406, respectively. For APOs in PE, the AUC values were 0.632, 0.627 and 0.669, with cut-off values of 4.959, 1070.408 and 3.346, respectively. Analysis indicated higher SII levels with increased incidences of fetal growth restriction, NICU transfer and fetal distress, and SIRI levels with NICU transfer and fetal distress (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Elevated levels of immune-inflammatory markers including NLR, SII, and SIRI are associated with PE and APOs. Our findings underscored the different optimal cut-off values of immune-inflammatory markers in the pregnant women between PE and the APOs.
