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

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with an increased risk of neonatal morbidity and mortality, as well as the development of metabolic syndrome in adulthood. The present study investigated the regulatory mechanisms of Notch signaling in FGR progression. The expression levels of Notch1 and Jagged1 were determined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blotting, immunofluorescence staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC). ELISA was used to measure the concentrations of IL-10, IL-17 and IL-35 in serum and placental samples. ELISA and western blotting determined the inflammation- and angiogenesis-related cytokine levels. Th17, Treg and macrophage levels were determined using IHC and flow cytometry. Additionally, hematoxylin & eosin staining and TUNEL assay assessed placenta histology and trophoblast cell apoptosis. Significant trophoblast apoptosis was observed in the placenta of FGR pregnancies. The expression of Notch1 and Jagged1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and placental tissues of FGR pregnancies was significantly lower than in the control group. The FGR group exhibited a remarkable inflammation, anti-angiogenesis and immune dysfunction. In conclusion, the Notch signaling pathway mediates immune balance to regulate the development of FGR. These findings offer the potential for advancing innovative predictive, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for FGR.
