Placental-Heart Axis: An Evolutionary Perspective.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
To maintain its development, the growing fetus is directly dependent on the placenta, an organ that acts as both a modulator and mediator. As an essential component of pregnancy that is derived from both maternal and fetal tissues, the placenta facilitates the passage of all oxygen and nutrients from the expecting parent to their fetuses. Further, the placenta conveys multiple impacts of the maternal environment to the growing fetus. The timing of placental development parallels that of the fetal cardiovascular system, and placental anomalies are implicated as a potential cause of congenital heart disease. For example, congenital heart disease is more common in pregnancies complicated by maternal preeclampsia, a condition characterized by placental dysfunction. Given the placenta's intermediary links to the maternal environment and fetal health outcomes, it is an emerging focus of evolutionary medicine, which seeks to understand how interactions between humans and the environment affect our biology and give rise to disease. The present review provides an overview of the evolutionary and developmental courses of the placenta as well as their implications on infant health.
