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

Background: Low-dose aspirin (LDA) is an intervention recommended to prevent the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in high-risk pregnancies. Maternal conditions such as HDP have been associated with cord blood epigenetic changes including those related to cardiovascular processes; however, it is unclear whether maternal aspirin therapy may impact neonatal epigenetics in otherwise healthy high-risk pregnancy. Objective: This study aimed to determine if maternal LDA exposure Methods: Umbilical cord blood was collected from 10 neonates without LDA exposure and 13 neonates with LDA exposure Results: A total of 155 differentially methylated loci (81 genes were hypermethylated and 74 were hypomethylated) were identified in LDA-exposed neonatal umbilical cord blood compared with the control group. Important canonical pathways identified by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) were related to Th1 and Th2 signaling and classical (M1) macrophage activation. The genes affected by LDA exposure were associated with cardiac and renal systems. Conclusion: LDA exposure led to differential DNA methylation in umbilical cord blood. The differentially methylated genes were related to inflammatory pathways as well as cardiac and renal toxicity pathways. LDA exposure Key Points: · Maternal aspirin exposure is associated with differential DNA methylation in cord blood.. · Cord blood epigenetic changes associated with maternal aspirin relate to anti-inflammatory pathways.. · Research on potential protective impact of maternal aspirin on neonatal epigenetics is warranted..
