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

Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is an enzyme involved in the oxidation of hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid. XOR has two isoforms: xanthine dehydrogenase and xanthine oxidase (XO). XO plays a major role in oxidative stress, causing the formation of reactive oxygen species. In the present study, we aimed to summarize the evidence on the association between XO and pregnancy complications. The PRISMA checklist guided the reporting of the data. We conducted systematic searches in the PubMed and Web of Science databases to identify all human studies investigating XO in pregnancy diseases up to June 2024. A total of 195 references have been identified and 14 studies were included. Most studies focused on women with PE and GD. Overall, all the included studies found a statistically significant increase in maternal, placental, and/or fetal XO levels, activity, or tissue expression in women with pregnancy complications, compared to those with uncomplicated pregnancies. Although promising, the quality and dimension of the included studies do not allow for a definitive answer to the question of whether XO may play a crucial role in pregnancy complications. Future studies are warranted to confirm if XO could represent a prognostic and therapeutic marker in pregnancy complications and their impact on long-term maternal and offspring cardiovascular health.
