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

The RUPP rat model of Preeclampsia exhibits hypertension (MAP), cytolytic natural killer (cNK) cells, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species (mt ROS).  Objective: Does TNF-α blockade with ETAN (Etanercept) decrease cNK cell and mt ROS in RUPP rats.

methodsOn gestational day 14, RUPP surgery was performed, ETAN (0.4 mg/kg) was administered on day 18, MAP, blood and tissues collected on 19.

resultsMAP, cytolytic NK cells and mt ROS were elevated in RUPP vs. NP and normalized with ETAN.

conclusionTNF-α blockade lowered blood pressure and improve inflammation and organ function in response to placental ischemia.
