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

backgroundPlacental dysfunction, a key feature of preeclampsia, has been linked to altered placental release of proteins into the maternal circulation. However, the identity of placenta-derived proteins in preeclampsia is unclear due to the inaccessibility of the placenta during pregnancy. This study aimed to identify placenta-derived proteins in preeclampsia, characterize their associated biological processes, and assess their biomarker potential.

methodsWe used the 4-vessel sampling method to collect blood from the ingoing and outgoing vessels of the placenta during cesarean section to identify proteins secreted from the placenta. Prospectively collected samples from a separate pregnancy cohort were also included. Proteins were quantified on the SomaLogic 5000-plex platform.

resultsWe identified 620 placenta-derived proteins, including 229 proteins released in both healthy pregnancies and in preeclampsia, 345 proteins released in preeclampsia only, and 46 proteins released in healthy controls only. Biological process gene ontologies linked to oxidative stress and cellular turnover were enriched among the placenta-derived proteins in preeclampsia, but not in healthy pregnancies. In the prospective cohort, 21 of the 620 placenta-derived proteins had altered levels in preeclampsia at least 3 weeks before, and on average >7 weeks before delivery. Among these, prediction performance for preeclampsia was promising for 11 biomarker candidates in single protein models (area under the curve >0.7) and 17 significantly improved prediction when combined with clinical variables as compared with a clinical model alone.

conclusionsUsing a unique in vivo sampling method, we identified placenta-derived proteins in preeclampsia, several of which showed promising biomarker potential.
