Untargeted metabolomics on first trimester serum implicates metabolic perturbations associated with BMI in development of hypertensive disorders: a discovery study.

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.
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
Goal: Body mass index (BMI) in early pregnancy is a critical risk factor for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). The pathobiology of the interplay between BMI and HDP is not fully understood and represents the focus of this investigation. Methods: BMI and 1st-trimester serum samples were obtained from the Global Alliance to Prevent Prematurity and Stillbirth repository for 154 women (105 without HDP and 49 with HDP). Metabotyping was conducted using ultra-high-performance liquid-chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC HR-MS). Multivariable linear regression and logistic models were used to determine metabolites and pathway perturbations associated with BMI in women with and without HDP, and to determine metabolites and pathway perturbations associated with HDP for women in categories of obese, overweight, and normal weight based on the 1st trimester BMI. These outcome-associated signals were identified or annotated by matching against an in-house physical standards library and public database. Pathway analysis was conducted by the Mummichog algorithm in MetaboAnalyst. Result: Vitamin D3 and lysine metabolism were enriched to associate with BMI for women with and without HDP. Tryptophan metabolism enrichment was associated with HDP in all the BMI categories. Pregnant women who developed HDP showed more metabolic perturbations with BMI (continuous) than those without HDP in their 1st-trimester serum. The HDP-associated pathways for women with normal weight indicated inflammation and immune responses. In contrast, the HDP-associated pathways for women of overweight and obese BMI indicated metabolic syndromes with disorders in glucose, protein, and amino acid, lipid and bile acid metabolism, and oxidative and inflammatory stress. Conclusion: High first-trimester BMI indicates underlying metabolic syndromes, which play critical roles in HDP development. Vitamin D3 and tryptophan metabolism may be the targets to guide nutritional interventions to mitigate metabolic and inflammatory stress in pregnancy and reduce the onset of HDP.
