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

Zika and Dengue viruses are arboviral pathogens capable of crossing the placental barrier, representing major global health risks for maternal and fetal outcomes. In this narrative review, we compare their epidemiology, clinical consequences in pregnancy, and underlying mechanisms of vertical transmission. Emerging molecular insights are highlighted, including disruptions to placental signaling pathways such as JAK/STAT and mTOR, and strategies to evade Hofbauer cells and the immune system. A comparative analysis of these processes underscores a critical need for improved understanding of placental pathophysiology, immune regulation, and molecular pathways of transmission. Identifying such mechanisms may promote vaccine development, improved diagnostics, and therapies to reduce adverse outcomes in the mother-infant dyad during maternal infection.
