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

Objective: To quantitatively synthesize the association between maternal blood lipid levels and the risk of preeclampsia (PE), and to evaluate its potential clinical utility for risk stratification monitoring. Methods: Relevant literature was retrieved from international databases (PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Embase) and Chinese databases (CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed) up to March 2025. After screening, statistical analyses were conducted using RevMan 5.4.1 software. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Results: A total of 822 studies were initially retrieved, and 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis showed that compared to controls, HDL levels were significantly lower in PE patients (SMD = -0.14, 95% CI: -0.18 to -0.10, Conclusion: Patients with PE exhibit significant alterations in blood lipid levels, which are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. These associations persist after adjusting for BMI, although effect sizes are modest. Blood lipid monitoring may serve as a clinical reference in PE management, but causal inference is precluded due to the observational nature of the included studies.
