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 complex pregnancy complication marked by hypertension and organ dysfunction, posing considerable risks to maternal and fetal health. This study aimed to explore the role of lactylation, a posttranslational modification associated with multiple disease processes, in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. Comprehensive bioinformatics analyses identified 99 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), among which two lactylation-related DEGs (LRDEGs)-EAF1 and PFKP were significantly up-regulated in preeclampsia. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that these LRDEGs were strongly associated with the Glycolysis/Gluconeogenesis pathway. A logistic regression model based on the LRDEGs achieved 81.7% accuracy in predicting preeclampsia, validated on the GSE54618 dataset, which achieved 91% accuracy. Immune cell infiltration analysis using CIBERSORT revealed significant differences between the preeclampsia and control cohorts. Additionally, nonnegative matrix factorization classified preeclampsia samples into two subtypes, with distinct immune infiltration profiles. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis further revealed cell-type-specific expression of the identified diagnostic genes, highlighting heterogeneity within the placental microenvironment. The expression levels of EAF1 and PFKP were significantly increased in placental tissues from individuals with preeclampsia. Collectively, these results suggest that EAF1 and PFKP may represent potential diagnostic biomarkers for preeclampsia and may influence its onset and progression through the Glycolysis/Gluconeogenesis pathway in specific cell types.
