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

Vascular inflammation, augmented vasoconstriction, reduced vasodilatory capacity, and endothelial dysfunction are cardinal features of the maternal vascular dysfunction phenotype in preeclampsia. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), bioactive molecules loaded with proteins, glycans, lipids, and nucleic acids facilitate intracellular signaling and cell-to-cell cross talk. Circulating EV concentrations rise throughout normal pregnancy; however, preeclampsia is characterized by a further increase in multiple types of EVs and a shift toward a proinflammatory, vasoactive cargo. Emerging evidence suggests that in preeclampsia, circulating EVs activate maternal endothelial cells, propagate vascular inflammation, and impair vascular tone and endothelial integrity, contributing to the development of hypertension and excess vasoconstriction. This review briefly introduces fundamental knowledge about EV biogenesis, morphology, and cargo selection, then focuses on current evidence on EV-induced endothelial inflammation and vascular dysfunction in pregnancies with preeclampsia versus uncomplicated pregnancies. Finally, we discuss the therapeutic potential of engineered or stem cell-derived EVs to restore maternal vascular health in preeclampsia.
