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

Preeclampsia is currently thought to be characterized by placental oxidative stress damage. Hydroxychloroquine is known to have antioxidant effects, but there are fewer studies on hydroxychloroquine in oxidative stress in preeclampsia. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of hydroxychloroquine on oxidative stress injury in preeclampsia and its related mechanisms by establishing cellular and animal models. Our study showed that hydroxychloroquine lowered blood pressure and urinary protein, ameliorated placental and renal damage, and improved preeclampsia rat outcomes. Hydroxychloroquine treatment activated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and inhibited excessive autophagy to ameliorate oxidative stress injury, and these effects were attenuated after application of the PI3K inhibitor LY294002. In summary, hydroxychloroquine may inhibit autophagy by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, which in turn ameliorates oxidative stress injury and improves preeclampsia outcomes. Our study provides a new theoretical basis for hydroxychloroquine application for preeclampsia therapy.
