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

Normal pregnancy is associated with uterine and vascular remodeling by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to facilitate placental blood flow and uterine expansion for the growing fetus. Increases in MMP-2 and MMP-9 in response to estrogen and progesterone promote placentation, uteroplacental vascularization and fetal growth during healthy pregnancy, but are altered in preeclampsia (PE). PE is characterized by hypertension in pregnancy (HTN-Preg) and fetal growth restriction (FGR). Predisposing genetic, demographic and environmental factors alter uteroplacental MMPs, immune response and integrins leading to apoptosis of invasive trophoblasts, inadequate spiral arteries remodeling, and reduced uteroplacental perfusion pressure (RUPP). Ensuing placental ischemia causes imbalance between anti-angiogenic soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and pro-angiogenic placental growth factor (PlGF) and promotes the release of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), hypoxia-inducible factor, reactive oxygen species, and angiotensin AT
