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 a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterised by new onset hypertension at ≥ 20 weeks' gestation accompanied by maternal organ dysfunction and/ or fetal compromise. This hypertensive exposure in pregnancy has known long-term consequences for both the mother and child. Presently, the mechanisms for these cardiometabolic, immunological and neurodevelopmental consequences in the child aren't well characterised, but epigenetic changes in development and premature biological aging may play a role in the development of these long-term morbidities. To investigate, we assessed genome-wide DNA methylation and biological aging in the blood of 2-5 year-old children with (n = 20) or without (n = 20) previous intrauterine exposure to preeclampsia. Exposure to preeclampsia was associated with 103 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) proximal to both known and novel candidate genes. Biological aging, as determined by two telomere length quantification methods and an epigenetic clock, was found to not be statistically different between the preeclampsia exposure and normotensive pregnancy groups. From the 103 DMRs, gene ontology analysis highlighted that 17 regions are proximal to genes involved in cell-cell adhesion (p = 7.49 × 10
