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 (PE) is a complex pregnancy disorder characterized by hypertension and organ dysfunction, significantly impacting maternal and fetal health. This systematic review investigates the epigenetic modifications, specifically DNA methylation patterns, in placental tissue from PE pregnancies. We conducted a comprehensive literature search across multiple databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase for studies published up to November 2024. The review analyzed genome-wide methylation studies and gene-specific methylation patterns in placental tissue, revealing significant differential methylation in numerous genes and pathways associated with PE pathogenesis. Our findings highlight distinct methylation profiles between early-onset and late-onset PE, tissue-specific methylation patterns within the placenta, and potential therapeutic and diagnostic implications. This review contributes to understanding the epigenetic mechanisms underlying PE and identifies promising biomarkers for early detection and intervention strategies.
