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 (PE) and eclampsia (E) are potentially life-threatening conditions that can occur during human pregnancy. Generally considered to be different degrees of severity of the same disease process, the PE/E syndrome is thought to be predominantly genetic in origin, although its exact etiology and genetics are not fully understood. Here we report results of a genomewide linkage search for the gene(s) responsible for susceptibility to PE/E, using 15 informative pedigrees and 90 polymorphic DNA markers from all autosomes. Because of uncertainties concerning inheritance and diagnosis, four different models that assume maternal gene expression have been used to carry out LOD-score analysis. The region between D4S450 and D4S610 (2.8 cM) on the long arm of chromosome 4 was identified as a strong candidate region for a PE/E-susceptibility locus. The maximum multipoint LOD score within this interval was 2.9. Analysis of markers in the region around D4S450 and D4S610 by the affected-pedigree-member method also supported the possibility of a susceptibility locus in this region. However, to verify or exclude definitively linkage to this region, other groups of PE/E pedigrees will be required.
