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

It has been long suggested that the placenta "educates" maternal platelets to contribute to a healthy pregnancy. Several studies have also demonstrated unique changes in platelet function and ultrastructure during pregnancy, some of which may drive hypertensive complications of pregnancy. One of the few proteins that are differentially found in the plasma of pregnant females when compared with non-pregnant females and males are the members of the pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG) family, and PSG1 is one of the highest expressed and best characterized of all human PSGs. Because PSGs are secreted into the maternal circulation (by the trophoblast cells of the placenta), platelets may be picking up placental exosomes containing PSGs. Also, platelets may directly incorporate circulating PSGs, which are found in high concentration, as has been shown for other serum proteins, including fibrinogen. In this image report, we have utilized a state-of-the-art high-resolution imaging approach to examine the interactions of labeled recombinant PSG1 with non-permeabilized human platelets. Strikingly, we observed that human platelets internalize PSG1 and express PSGs during pregnancy.
